2015 Final Standings 



Quick Analysis: For the most of the last decade, the Franklin College Grizzlies have been the most dominant program in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC), advancing to the NCAA Division III playoffs eight times in the last 10 years. While it didn't come as a surprise that they're once again the team to beat in the HCAC again this fall, the teams that received first place votes (Rose-Hulman, Mount St. Joseph, & Bluffton) did stun many of the so-called "experts". Still, until another team proves otherwise, expect the Franklin to rise to the top in the HCAC in 2016.
