Overview: Since its inaugural season in 1976, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) has almost always been ranked among the most competitive conferences at the NCAA Division III level, and the 2017 season definitely didn't disappoint for many ODAC fans. The Washington & Lee University Generals (8-3 overall) finished 5-1 in league games to claim their seventh overall conference championship, as well as their fifth conference crown dating back to 2006. The Generals season ended in the first round of the D-III playoffs, as eventual national champion Mount Union pitched a 21-0 shutout win.
The 2018 season brings in a brand new member to the ODAC, as Ferrum College joins the fold this fall. That brings the conference's football-playing membership to eight members entering this year. With an 8-2 overall and a 5-2 record in their final season as a member of the USA South Athletic Conference, don't be surprised if the Panthers find themselves feeling right at home in their new home.
If that wasn't enough, the ODAC will add another member to its football ranks in 2019, as Southern Virginia University announced it will join the league as an associate member by then. But for now, expect the ODAC to be wide-open once again this fall.
