With two new football programs starting this coming season and one in 2020, I wanted to provide a little recap of the football playoff history of the current MEC and the WVIAC before that. Here goes.
The MEC has been in existence since 2013. Before that most MEC schools were in the WVIAC. MEC schools that were not in the WVIAC are Notre Dame and Urbana.
As the MEC alone:
The MEC has a 12-8 football playoff record.
MEC has had one team participate in the NCAA National Championship football game (Shepherd 2015).
MEC schools have won four NCAA Regional Championships in football (Notre Dame in 2018, Shepherd (2016 and 15) and Concord (2014).
MEC title holders: (Shepherd 3, Notre Dame and Concord 1 each).
As the WVIAC alone:
Playoff record 12-30.
Won one National Football Championship (Fairmont 1967).
Participated in four National Football Championship games (Fairmont, Glenville (twice) and Salem).
Won one NCAA Regional Title in football (Shepherd).
Leading conference title holders (Fairmont and Shepherd tied at 17 each, West Liberty 15 and Concord 12).
