We are light years away from competing with the MVFC teams that have huge, powerful lines. But the strength of the MVFC disguises the fact that the rest of FCS grows weaker by the year. Even as we were presently constituted this year, WHEN HEALTHY, we could have defeated the best teams in half of the conferences.
I will repeat something that I claimed previously. In any given year in FCS football, the real top ten consists of the five best MVFC teams, James Madison and one other from the CAA (often Villanova,) Sam Houston and two teams from the Big Sky. No other teams have any serious chance of competing for the championship. And soon James Madison and Sam Houston are gone, leaving the MVFC even more dominant.
Of course this means nothing until we find a way to crash the top five in our conference.
