GNAC MISCELLANY
GNAC COMPETES IN SUPER REGIONAL III: The GNAC competes
in Super Regional III. Also part of the 44-team Super Regional III is
the MIAA (Mid-America), the Great American Conference and the
Northern Sun. Six teams from each of the four regions qualify for
the playoffs.
EARNED ACCESS: “Earned access” berths are awarded to
conferences which have a team ranked in the Top 8 in their
region. Six teams from each region qualify for the playoffs. The
impact of earned access is that if a team is ranked seventh or
eighth, but qualifies for the earned access berth, it would qualify
for the playoffs, displacing a team ranked above it in the top six.
The GNAC does not currently receive an earned access berth since
only three of its seven football schools are full-fledged members
of the GNAC. A minimum of six is required for a league to qualify
for a berth. The third of the three regional polls will be released
next Monday (Nov. 10).
