if we're not going to include the NESCAC (and we might as well keep on not), then there aren't ten good teams in the East to rank.

Hell, there might not even be five.

I know this was likely, at least partially, tongue in cheek. We all know the East hasn't had a 'top tier' consistent team since the 90's Rowan teams. I think Wesley has taken a step back(a small step) since joining the NJAC. Brockport MIGHT be close now(but for how long?)  But realistically, we just haven't had one in forever.

However, I'm a firm believer that the East is MUCH more competitive and deep as a whole than every other region. Our mid-tier teams(your 6-12 or whatever) would do just fine in most other conferences across the country. Probably finish in the top 3rd of them. Everyone thinks the OAC is so great because of Mt Union, but most non-Mount teams would be mediocre at best in the LL, E8, NJAC and MAC. ‪

In summary, don't smoke crack.

Hell, here is my top 10 in the full spirit of the fan poll page.

0. Williams
1. Brockport
2. Frostburg
3. Wesley
4. Salisbury
5. Mt. Ida
6. RPI
7. Del Val
8. Cortland
9. Jersey City State
10. Montclair
11. Union
12. Ithaca


In all seriousness, maybe it should be a rule that the top NE team has to be ranked #0 until week 7.  Then you are allowed to put them in the top 10.

RIP Mount IDA!!! Bring Back Mustang City!!

he will be the next John Smith if not better if he stays all 4 years. Might not get the same stats as Smith because Husson will be stepping up in competition but they will be close.

Hope to be back posting soon with you NedGuy!! Tough when Ida is gone and the teams I played while at Mount Ida all leaving conference ....Becker, Norwich and Husson next year!

Dean 21 Curry 17
WPI 42 Anna Maria 7
Husson 24 Union 10
SUNY 38 Maine 35
Plymouth 24 Castleton 17
GU 35 Alvernia 14
UMD 42 Alfred State 10

Coaches poll came out today

1. Husson
2. SUNY
3. Castleton
4. Dean
5. Gallaudet
6. Alfred State

Sorry about that:

9 should have been Widener

1. Brockport
2. Wesley
3. Alfred
4. Frostburg
5. Del Val
6. Ithaca
7. RPI
8. Salisbury
9. Ithaca
10. Husson

Widnear, Hobart, Framingham, St. John Fisher, Springfield

Wide Receivers Coach at Framingham...Hopefully he can get back to full time head coaching soon. Mount Ida scrimmaged Framingham each year while i was there. This will be a good fit for Coach.

fulbakdad - As it what sense? taking a big step back this year?

Pre-Season Rankings

1. Husson
2. Dean
3. Castleton
4. SUNY
5. Alfred State
6. Galludet
7. Anna Marie


From what i have heard around New England...I think Curry, Nichols and Worcester State got a group of the Ida players. As an football alum from Ida it is still a shame to see the school fold. Coach Landers built a very good program there and helped alot of kids on and off the field.

Keystone will Join the conference in 2020

Ida Alumni was on the 2012 ECFC championship team....Disappoint and upset this happened the program and facilities really upgraded over my 4 years there and we were competing well in New England..Coach Landers was a great coach and feel for him and the players. RIP Mount Ida Football #MustangCity

SUNY Maritime will be the best team in the Conference once Husson leaves....They overall have been very good in the league.....Mount Ida had some good years (1 Championship and 4 2nd place finishes)

Dean i agree could be a wild card and start to surprise some teams in next couple years.

WNE won their conference and is going to the NCAA's

I think the Union Husson Round 2 would be an amazing game! Have a friend who plays for Union so i am big time supporter for them.  Not sure you can use the Union has a better win then Husson since clearly Union is better then Hobart this year and Husson beat them. 

Would Union meet the miles restriction to play Husson? Wish there was not one. A Husson vs Brockport  and Union vs Springfield Match up Round 1 would be a fun one and 2 games i think the NE schools can win.
