Hopefan,
Great stats. The SLIAC always has been in my mind, the worst or one of the worst conferences in D3 hands down. No men's team has ever won a playoff game. Even the best teams in SLIAC history get pummeled in the 1st round by Wash U, IL Wesleyan, etc. They just don't have the talent, period. Same on the women's side. A few high school teams in IL and MO would win the SLIAC handsdown, and they get most of their nonconference wins vs patsies. I think it has gotten better, but not good enough.
