If WOU made a run with that schedule, they'd have a good shot at the playoffs. Playing Idaho probably isn't going to help CWU in that regard, and Ferris is going to be a tough game.

Re: 2019 Composite Schedule

I see a lot of LSC schools on these schedules even before the alliance starts. Maybe also with Dixie State going up to D1 it will open a RMAC game for both conferences too to fill schedules during the alliance as I see several of them on these schedules too.

WOU's schedule if very tough, but probably the best schedule they've ever had for quality of opponents and number of home games.

Re: 2019 Composite Schedule

All those are pretty killer...
Four road games in a row for SFU? And Dixie and Azusa back to back in the middle of it?!

Followed up by CWU too. SFU did beat Dixie State though the last time that they played.

Re: 2019 Composite Schedule

Southern Oregon should make the move up.

They won't, talked about forever here. They just won NAIA softball title, they like that.

And I've talked to people in Medford that see NAIA as superior to NCAA division 2. I'm not sure why, but they do. I could understand that sentiment in Clarkston as it would likely mean losing the NAIA world series.

Re: 2019 Composite Schedule

Azusa is playing Missouri S&T. They went 10-2 last year, though that was against GLVC competition. Should still be a good game, along with WTAM and the rematch with Mines.

CWU playing Ferris State will be their biggest OOC.

SFU's biggest is Angelo State. We'll see where the new coach gets them to this season.

WOU having both Commerce and Midwestern State on their schedule will be rough. They've been the two top teams in the LSC the past couple years.

NAIA because of scholarships is closer to D2 than D3, but it's not better than D2. Carroll College (NAIA) whacked D3 powerhouse Linfield last year. Those 24 scholarships helped.

I heard the Montana schools wouldn't mind booting SOU out of the Frontier for football, tired of the 15-hour (one-way) bus trips. Don't blame them. I'll believe SOU to D2 when I see it. They seem very risk aversive.

Been waiting on that start time.

I was going to go but that's the same day as my brother's birthday, so probably shouldn't.
