UCO doesn't for obvious reasons. They have long of considered themselves superior to the other regionals and they now are for sure . They left Ok schools in 80s to join Lonestar ten years before nsu did . Then others followed after nsuleft naia . Nsu and uco wanted out of lsc the cost to make a lonestar league network was not cost efficient. Nsu was not close to aLSC schools and travel was eating them alive esp to enmsu, Angelo, and tamuk. After they left LSC is when GAC formed. Nsu traditional rival in academics and size and sports has always been UCO. At time our president was ex is UCO admin and then he became UCO pres. The second UCO pres in a row to come from nsu . Nsu does not have volleyball and at time GAC had no men's soccer which nsu is very tied to. So for now we are in Miaa like it or not. And we get to be designated cannon fodder because when we joined there was Truman, msst, sw Baptist, lindenwood and other schools that we could have been competitive with. But let's be real frank no ody in this conf has done well in po in last five years . Because we are wearing each other down. There are less transfers down from D1 because of transfer rule. Less money trickling down because of shrinking paycheck. Not everybody in D2 has a ten million dollar athletic budget.

Ouachita will run at you with 2 TEs and a fullback and just try to out muscle you. then send those guys out into routes once you commit to stopping the run. sounds like an easy concept to defend. if you do it and do it well, no-one can stop it.
we aren't ready...YET.

they clearly vote for their buddy's and themselves all the time.

Hell some may even throw in MSSU, I just haven’t watched them at all. So don’t know whether to or not.

Actually on second glance I’d put MSSU in before UCO. But regardless half these teams play each other this week and it should shake out further, but no way ONLY UNK and PITT deserve to be in there. It’s a tight race.

My Updated MIAA Power Rankings
1. UNK
2. PITT - I’d love to play them again
3. MSSU - a under the radar team
4. Washburn - Ichabods are Ight I guess
5. MW - running back is pretty salty
6. UCO - trash but they get points for beating NW
7. Ft Hays - without fuller they’re garbage
8. NWMSU - they may never win again
9. UCM - Lambo struggles in MIAA, again
10. NSU - Not as bad as Lincoln
11. Lincoln - feel bad for the players
12. ESU - obviously
