GoGheny,
I know that the Gators have been taking on a pretty brutal schedule the past few seasons and I was unfair to lump them into that group. You are right about Allegheny taking on tougher non-conference foes. And speaking of Westminster, that is my alma mater and I am glad to see them trying to rebuild that once proud program. I was there in the early 90's when the Titans were an NAIA powerhouse. I remember us playing Allegheny each year in what was then the battle of DIII's best vs. NAIA's best. Those were some great games!!!
Anyways, the onus on making this conference more credible lies with the bottom 5 as Pat said. Until they start becoming even the slightest bit competitive, I'm afraid our conference ranking won't improve all that much.
