The final 2018-19 Massey Ratings for the CSAC members.

241 - Rosemont
299 - Wilson
308 - Cairn
349 - Centenary
393 - Keystone
413 - Bryn Athyn
427 - Clarks Summit

Not a single team in the top 240 teams in all of D-3 men's basketball.

The College of Saint Elizabeth was in the NEAC last season and was 378th in the final Massey Ratings.

I look at as it's the competition that counts.... remember, one of these CSAC teams will make the tourney... a number of teams rated better than 100 won't... that competition is one of the reasons I've enjoyed the SLIAC so much... no NCAA tourney wins yet, but the games leading to a conference tourney winner have often been terrific....

Gotta agree with hopefan. The CSAC may be brutal in terms of talent level and aesthetics, but there's an awful lot to be said for a league that is internally competitive from top to bottom.

I'm just remarking on it because it's a shadow of its former self.

I don't know anything about their history, but I think we are all in agreement that it is not important what a teams rating is out of conference for those involved there. For those programs it is just win their league and live 'the Hoosiers dream'.

Let's remember. D3 is about peer institutions competing on their own level. In fact, those institutions in the CSAC and the SLIAC may be performing closer to the ideals that brought forth Division III nearly 50 years ago. In a lot of ways, Pool C is about do-overs, greed, envy, and covetousness.

Gregory Sager

While I can't argue with that, Ralph, I will gladly be a greedy, envious, covetous do-over adherent if NPU doesn't win this week's CCIW men's soccer tourney and thereby requires a Pool C berth. I can go back to making my peace with the tenth commandment next week. ;)
