The best conference is in fact the CAA South.
Combined Overall records:
South: 40-20 (0.667)
North: 25-35 (0.417)
Combined records excluding games within the division, which of course count in both the win and loss columns:
South: 28-8 (0.778)
North: 13-23 (0.361)
Record vs opposite division:
South: 14-4 (0.778) (3 teams are 3-0, none are 0-3 vs the North)
North: 4-14 (0.222) (3 teams are 0-3, none are 3-0 vs the South)
Record vs FCS OOC:
South: 10-1 (Opponents' records: 52-57 0.477)
North: 7-4 (Opponents' records: 54-54 0.500)
Record vs FBS:
South: 3-3
North: 1-5
Record vs non-D1:
South: 1-0
North: 1-0
Food for thought. Gnaw away!

Re: PROOF the CAA is NOT the best FCS conference
Perhaps we should start dividing the CAA like THEY do. The CAA SOUTH is perhaps the best 6-team conference. In fact, it might not matter WHAT two teams were added, it STILL would be the best 8 team conference in the nation.
The North? Meh.....not so much.

Re: PROOF the CAA is NOT the best FCS conference
What's interesting is that the top 2 in the South and the top 3 in the North are not actually CAA members.

True, but then again the CAA Football Conference isn't really the CAA anyway.LastMinuteman wrote:What's interesting is that the top 2 in the South and the top 3 in the North are not actually CAA members.

Kind of like the Missouri Valley Football Conference.ASUMountaineer wrote:It's really just an Association.
WIU, YSU, SDSU, and NDSU are not Missouri Valley Conference members, which is why I didn't understand the renaming of the conference....unless it was so SIU and UNI could have more MVC title banners up instead of Gateway and MVC...

Re: PROOF the CAA is NOT the best FCS conference
Who gives a crap about the best conference, as long as you are in with one that has an auto-bid. Using the Big South as an example, by far not the best conference going, but once they get the auto-bid, Liberty will be writing their ticket to the playoffs without getting the $hit kicked out of them week in and week out.
