Re: Time to Leave the PSAC?
Let's go to the videotape with the top five teams in the D-II poll as of last week.
No. 1 Minnesota State -- Northern Sun
Mary: 0-4 this year, 3-30 previous three years.
Minnesota-Crookston: 1-3 this year, 1-32 previous three years.
Concordia St. Paul: 2-2 this year, 5-28 previous three years.
No. 2 Northwest Missouri -- Mid-America
Missouri Southern: 0-4 this year, 3-30 previous three years.
Northeastern State: 0-4 this year, 6-27 previous three years.
Nebraska Kearney: 2-2 this year, 4-29 previous three years.
No. 3 Texas A&M-Commerce -- Lone Star
UT-Permian Basin: 0-4 this year, 4-18 previous two years (entered in 2016).
Western New Mexico: 0-3 this year, 7-15 previous two years (entered in 2016).
No. 4 Indiana (Pa.) -- PSAC
Millersville: 0-4 this year, 8-25 previous three years.
Lock Haven: 1-3 this year, 8-25 previous three years.
Seton Hill: 0-4 this year, 8-25 previous three years.
No. 5 Ferris State -- Great Lakes
Michigan Tech: 2-2 this year, 15-16 previous three years.
Northern Michigan, 1-3 this year, 9-23 previous three years.
Northwood: 0-2 this year, 15-18 previous three years.
So, here's what we have. One of these conferences, the Great Lakes, is fairly devoid of "gimme" games. The Great Lakes also weeded out some weak-sister programs in the last few years -- Lake Erie, Walsh, Malone, Davenport.
Outside of that, everyone else has weak sisters. Generally weaker than the PSAC's bottom feeders.
