1st season is in the books and as expected, it was pretty rough.

14th in conference RPI @ .4957
3 NT bids with zero S16 teams
2 PI bids with one title game appearance

Currently in the job period, we are still at full capacity.

Season 2 results

#2 in RPI @ .5532
7 NT bids. 3 E8. zero FF.

Heartland Season 3 results.

#2 in RPI @ .5674
7 NT bids. 1 E8. Zero FF.

Still rocking a full conference and the waiting list is growing.

Heartland Season 4 results

#1 in RPI @ 0.5871
7 NT bids. 1 E8. Zero FF.

Disappointing NT results with two 1 seeds and one 2 seed.

Still full - no coaches left from last season. Waiting list continues to grow.

Rocky Mountain Season 4 Results

Also disappointing postseason for RMAC with two 1 seeds and one 2 seed.

RMAC picks up an accomplished coach snewell12.

Now that two conferences are full, I say we turn the waiting list into another super conference. Whose in?

Pretty solid start for Heartland this season. After 8 games we have 10 ranked teams and #1 in conference RPI @ 0.6401.

After 19 games, here is the projection report for all 12 teams in Heartland.

1. St. Edward's

2. Rockhurst

3. Montevallo

14. N. Alabama

15. Incarnate Word

18. St. Mary's (TX)

30. Oklahoma Panhandle St.

31. Lincoln

32. W. Alabama

56. Drury

57. Valdosta St.

62. W. Florida

The last teams just need a couple more wins to be eligible for the tourney.
