History of NACC football champions --
( ) indicates shared title that year:

Lakeland: 09, (14), 15, (16), 17
Aurora: 08, (16), 19
Benedictine: 10, (11), (14)
CUC: (11), 12
Eureka: 18
CUW: 13
WLC: (14)
Rockford: -
Maranatha: -

*Lakeland leads with 5 total, 4 in a row during the Michael Whitley era.

*Aurora and Benedictine are tied with 3 each (2 outright for AU, 1 outright for BU)

*CUC has back to back titles from 2011 to 2012 (2012 being the outright champion)

*Was surprised to realize CUW has only one NACC championship to their name which came in 2013.

*WLC's title came in 2014 amidst a 3-way tie with Lakeland and Benedictine.

*Eureka surprised everyone (except maybe Eureka) and won the title in their inaugural NACC season.

*Rockford has struggled to get back on track since the NACC's inception, but their program is headed in the right direction.

*Maranatha dissolved their football program before winning one.

2021 Season is right around the corner and Aurora has released a 2021 roster with a ton of seniors from last season returning. Zimbelman, Bailey, Jewell, Reyna, Stark, Martz, Nava and many more are all back as Graduates ready to make a run at another NACC championship  8-)

So, is anyone in the NACC worried about SNC joining the league? Or looking forward to another win?

Went back to the St. Norbert's 2019 schedule, saw that they played NACC squad Aurora that year and lost 50-40 (and won big over most of their MWC opponents except for Lake Forest and Monmouth.)

St. Norbert should get its' share of NACC wins. The tests for the Green Knights this year appear to be Benedictine, Lakeland and Aurora, imho. Concordia-Chicago appeared to be the weakest NACC team last spring. Rockford has potential if QB Ray and several other good Regent players return.  "X" factors--CUW, WLC (should the Warrior D improve) and Eureka.

St. Norbert all-time records vs. future NACC opponents as of 7/29/2021:

Vs. Aurora:  1-1   (2018-2019)           
Vs. Benedictine:  1-3  (1988-89, 2016-17)
Vs. Concordia-WI:  2-2 (1992-95)
Vs. Lakeland 2-0 (1961-62)

Have yet to play Concordia-Chicago, Eureka, Rockford and WLC.

As a Green Knight fan, I'm looking forward to a season in which I have no idea what will happen. The annual run through their Midwest Conference slate had become about as predictable as the sunrise (minus the Monmouth games).

Eureka joined the league and won the NACC title in year one when I thought they had no chance. Wouldn't be surprised if St Norbert went on a similar run to finish top 3 this season, but I think Aurora, with the talent and experience they have returning, is the team to beat. Should be an exciting season.

Yep, WIDE open. I have no insight into rosters, significant returnees, anything. Based on recent competitive history, which could be completely irrelevant by now, top 3 might be a reach for SNC. Their N-C schedule is perfect, though. And to open conference against a natural rival (plus there's some juice built up on chippy JV matchups over recent years), dang, Sheboygan Showdown will be big

SNC and Aurora will be top 2.

Norby is an extremely tough place to play.

I view the NAC as not much different than the MWC. SNC will be a tier above every team except AU now that BB is there. Norby gets good crowds and every time Monmouth has played there it's been cold and windy. Good atmosphere.

SNC issue is their offense. For whatever reason, they have gone hybrid wingT and you can not win in the playoffs w that offense. Too predictable and don't have the players for it.

My question was about why SNC is a tough place to play.

As for the offense, you mean the offense SNC ran when they drilled Trine on the road a year after Monmouth got boatraced by the same program?

Beating Trine is not the same as beating a team from the CCIW, WIAC or MIAC that St. Norbert would have to face to really get anywhere in the postseason.

I never asserted otherwise. Just getting in a dig at our former rival. Thanks for your vigilance.
