RFC Summer Semester--University Athletic Association Preview (NCAA Division III)

What it is: The University Athletic Association (UAA) is an NCAA Division III conference that consists of highly selective private universities located mostly in major metropolitan areas of the Northeast and Midwest. Of the eight current members that make up the UAA, however, only four of them: Carnegie Mellon (Pittsburgh), Case Western Reserve (Cleveland), the University of Chicago, and Washington University (St. Louis) currently play football. Its history dates back to 1990.

Predicted order of finish (2009 order of finish, projected champion in BOLD type)

1. Case Western Reserve (10-1): The Spartans have made three straight trips to the D-III playoffs. They hope to make it four in a row in 2010. Case enters that campaign having won 30 straight regular season games, with just one postseason win to show for it: a close, 21-20 win over Widener in the first round of the 2007 dance.

2. Chicago (5-4): The Maroons hope to win their first UAA title since 2005. A tough non-conference schedule includes a trip to perennial North Coast Athletic Conference power Wabash.

3. Carnegie-Mellon (5-5): The Tartans have had 35 straight non-losing seasons, dating back to 1975. They hope to make 36 in a row in 2010.

4. Washington (Mo.)--(4-6): The Bears face three teams (Wittenberg, Wabash, and Case Western Reserve) that made the D-III playoffs last year.
