Does the CAA Suck this Season?
It really looks like it. Outside of Villanova and possibly William and Mary, this conference looks BAAAAAAD.
Combined conference record is 8-12 now with 0 FBS upsets and some pretty sorry losses to the dregs of the FCS. Looking your way Towson and Stony Brook. In fact, some of the games the conference would have competed in in years past were quite terrible too. JMU got rolled by UMD 52-7, Del got trucked 66-0 by Pitt (with like 60 yards of total offense), Richmond got mauled by 30 by UVA andTowson got handled by WVU 54-0. Even former FBS buster UNH didn't put up a fight against Toledo.
This is probably the worst I've seen the conference perform OOC in quite sometime. What has happened to the once best in the FCS conference? Did losing ODU, Mass and Georgia State really hurt that much? Are we in a down year or is this something more sinister?
Right now, I think this is only a two bid league unfortunately. Discuss.

You wouldn't put UR & UNH in your top 20 poll? I think 5 or 6 CAA teams are currently in the top 25.

Maybe...Still early, but I'm not terribly impressed with either.

2 CAA teams in the Elite 8 of the FCS Playoffs. The CAA and MVFC are the 2 best conferences in FCS!
