Currently watching Mount Union vs. North Central (Illinois) in the D3 Football Championship. My goodness, these teams would beat almost all the PSAC and would give the top tier a tough game. This is really impressive to watch.

Originally posted by Ram Tough View PostThe thing to remember about D3 schools is that they are playing against other D3 schools.
Would they look like they do paired up against a team who can hit back? They play a lot of (small and slow) meatballs in D3 throughout the year.
Sure, they'd smoke many in the PSAC but I don't think the top teams..
People about to watch Ferris will say the same thing about them being up a level. Yes, Ferris would smoke the pretend Robert Morris types of 'D1' but they wouldnt beat the James Madison level.

The perennial DIII powers would do well right away for the same reason most perennial move-up schools do well immediately: they're a strong program that's already viewed as attractive by recruits. Its pretty rare that a school simply flexing financial muscle (see: Incarnate Word) does well quickly.
