Not to be unkind but NE10 has been awful this year. ST ANSELM up on ASSUMPTION 34-10 with 2+ minutes in the 1st half. Ouch.

Crazy rumor circulating that Assumption had a group of players walk off the team this week - anyone else hear this? Pretty far fetched to be believed - but that St Anselm score is a real head scratcher . . .

Pretty sure St. Anselm was the only NE10 team to beat both New Haven and Assumption this season.

No playoffs for the NE10, so the season is now over.
2010 was the last time the NE10 lost out on the playoffs, when New Haven won a three-way tiebreaker for the league championship but lost their last game to St. Anselm to finish 8-2 and out of the playoffs.
With the offseason comes the question of how can the NE10 improve its playoff standing. There were exciting games every week and a decent amount of upsets, but there was too much parity and since the isn't as deep as (especially) the PSAC, there wasn't a dominant team to make the playoffs. Consider that New Haven, who finished with the best overall record at 7-3 and won the most games against NE10 teams (7), but one of those games didn't count in the standings and the loss to Bentley cost them the tiebreaker. 3 losses won't cut it when you have 5 strong teams in the PSAC.

2. Play more D2 non-conference games. Only St Anselm played 11 games against D2 opponents and Franklin Pierce was the only other school to play 11 games. Increasing the number of games increases the chances for wins.
3. Add another team to the conference. Sure Franklin Pierce was awful this year, but they gave everybody else in the conference a win.

From what I understand the committee puts a lot of status into a championship game. PSAC is almost guaranteed 2 spots by virtue of their STATE GAME. It's a bit difficult to do with 9 schools but 12 could do it.

It has been a difficult transition to the new coaching staff beginning last season, a 180 in style and scheme. They had a great group of upperclassmen, no punks, maybe too nice. But there weren't any starters missing vs St A's. They were unable to cover, tackle or block good enough on Saturday or for the most part of the last two years.
PS. Watch out for JC King the back from St. A's. Looks like another Wes Hills in the making.Last edited by NE10Fan; 11-18-2019, 01:57 PM.

Stonehill was the only team to win out of conference against D2 competition and that team just fired their head coach. To make the playoffs, you need to win out of your conference. Every team in the past for the NE10 that made the playoffs did it.
With the odd number of teams, it is tough to schedule right now because of the bye weeks through the season. Most teams are struggling to find games after Week 1 because of conference games. The league filled the gap with Week 2 as OOC against NE10 teams and that will probably happen again next year.
They need to find a 10th team for the league. Losing Post and Merrimack rarely happens like that but it hurt the league for 2019. If someone can run the table next year, they will be in the playoffs.
