Starting in 2010, the NEC champion will be set to participate in the Division I playoffs (let's leave the smack out, gents!). With that happening, the NEC will no longer have their top team to send to a Gridiron Classic event against the Pioneer champion.

What happens to the Gridiron Classic? Could we see the second-place team from the NEC play the Pioneer champ? Or is this it for the Gridiron Classic.

And what options does the Pioneer have for playing in the postseason since it seems, like the NEC until 2010 - there is not much of a realistic chance that any of their teams are going the way of the playoffs.
