Columbia beat defending national champion Penn State over this weekend and several other big state schools like U. of New Hampshire and U. of Vermont. Yes, sports at Columbia generally suck. But this team definately does not.
Again, they actually got worked by most of those teams. Add up the A scores and get back to us.

Not to mention, Penn State was 4th last year. Also, there were 3 schools from the RMCCC in the top 10, 2 from the MWCCC in there, 2 from the WCCC, 1 from the SECCC, and then Midwestern State, which belongs some other conference. So, that is hardly the strongest conference.
