Re: AFCA Preseason Division II Top 25 (8/13)
Uh, what? Where did I say any of that?
You do see that all I said was they're in the playoffs within a couple years. Do you want me to break that down for you?
Gannon - Left after 2007, where they were 1-9 in the conference, ending a four-year GLIAC run where they were never better than 3-7. They were over .500 two years later.
Notre Dame (OH) - One year in the GLIAC. Went 2-8 in 2012. Went 5-6 in 2013, and then 7-3 in the MEC in 2014.
Mercyhurst - 3-7 in GLIAC in 2005, 2006, 2007. First year in PSAC in 2008, they went 7-4. In the playoffs in 2010.
Indianapolis - Didn't make the playoffs a single time in the GLIAC between 1990 and 2011. Since then, they've went 8-0, 7-0, 7-1, 8-0, 5-3, 8-0 in the GLVC and made the playoffs four times.
Malone - Won 3 games in the GLIAC in 4 years. Total. Still garbage now.
2016 - Hillsdale finished 4-5 in the GLIAC. Ohio Dominican, Findlay, Lake Erie, Walsh were the bottom four teams in the GLIAC South. Hillsdale goes 7-4 (5-2) this past year in new conference. Ohio Dominican went 7-3, including 7-0 in their new conference. Findlay goes 10-3, including 6-1 in conference, and makes playoffs for the first time ever after not making it to the playoffs in the GLIAC between 1998 and 2016. Lake Erie still sucked, but had a better conference record than they ever had in the GLIAC. Walsh goes over .500 in the conference in their first year.
So in only one case in the last 15 years has a team left the GLIAC and stayed the same or worse in their new conference nearly immediately. Only two teams, Hillsdale and ODU, had made the playoffs while in the GLIAC. Since leaving the GLIAC, four teams have made the playoffs within a couple years, including three who couldn't make the playoffs in the GLIAC and all of them but one team has gotten better nearly overnight. That's not opinion.
