14 SoCon (6-8)
11 Independent(7-4)
10 Big Sky Conference (5-5)
6 Southland (1-5)
4 A10 Conference (3-1)
4 Gateway (2-2)
4 Ohio Valley (2-2)
1 Missouri Valley (1-0)
1 MEAC (1-0)
1 Patriot (0-1)

At least I think these are the right numbers.

Five- 85,86,88,89,90

GSU didn't appear in the championship game in 1991 and didn't reappear in the championship game again until 1998. GSU then appeared in 3 consecutive NC games- 98,99,2000.

GSU won championships in 85,86,89,90,99,00.

Although we are late to the table, notice which conference has the best winning % of the NC games... :D

The past is the past. I care about this year until next year.:nod:

Don't worry. The SoCon looks to be a good bet to keep adding to the totals.

Then you would have to add to Gateway with Youngstowns and SIU's from the MVC.

That's true, between Furman and App State we have a good chance of sending someone again this season.
