1. The ACC had nine schools, the Big East eight.
2. There were nine I-A independents.
3. UConn had just left I-AA.
4. The A-10 had, well, ten schools.
5. North Dakota State was still in Division II.
6. South Florida was still in Division I-AA.
7. St. John's was still playing football.
8. Hofstra finished #7 in the national poll.
9. The Pioneer was down to five schools.
10. There were only two undefeated teams in the subdivision: Robert Morris and Davidson. Neither were invited to the playoffs.


It is pretty well known that the PL turned down Hofstra (which has never forgiven us) and essentially told Monmouth to stay away.

We have admitted other all-sports and associate members.

Villanova has been encouraged to join for football. That is another poorly kept secret.
