Best conferences

[Gil Dobie]

Colonial, Big Sky, SOCON, and Missouri Valley are the top 4 IMO.

I would put:
1. SOCON
2. CAA
3. Big Sky
4. MVFC

OVC needs to have a premier team like Jacksonville State step up.

FIFY, The MVC is not a football conference.

I didn't know there was even any doubt about this:

1 - CAA
2 - SoCon
3 - Big Sky
and a big gap to
4 - MVFC (come on, UNI loses at home to Patriot League champ Lehigh last year? that has to hurt)

and really 5th is a tie between everyone else as no one is any significant amount better than anyone else.

IMO, Lehigh could have won at Montana St last year, as well as UNI or WIU. Not saying they would have won, but could have won. Not sure any other Pioneer team was as good as to win at UNI. EWU gives the edge to the BSC, closer than a big gap.
