This is mostly a measure of reaching the NCAA post-season. Is that the sole criterion? It looks like Idaho has returned to a conference of peers.

These were our previous peers. We would still be middle of the pack. But, the region was definitely not within our peer institutions. Big Sky geography has greatly improved without much loss in competition.

Idaho would have been in upper half of the WAC.

Only FCS schools that finished higher than NAU were three Ivy's - Princeton, Harvard and Columbia

Big Sky had two top 100 schools.

The Ivy League had 5 of the top 10 FCS schools.

Don’t they all sponsor a whole bunch of sports that not a whole lot of schools offer? That helps in the rankings. Stanford is always at the top thanks to having things like water polo and men’s volleyball.

Furman finished 73rd. I think the next SoCon team was Samford at 139.

I think some of it has to do with Furman establishing itself as one of the premier locations for distance running in the South.

This is true. However, one sport not included here in which the Ivies excel is men’s crew, as that is not a NCAA sport. Yale has has won the National Championship in Heavyweight Crew two years in a row. Also this only gives points for post season appearances, so no points are available to the Ivy League for football, despite Yale being ranked 24th in the nation.
