THE RFC MYC: Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC)-(NCAA Division II)

Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC)-(NCAA Division II)

Overview: For the second straight season, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) found itself on the outside looking in when the 28-team NCAA Division II playoff field was announced last fall. Albany State (Ga.) was the lone SIAC team to finish conference play undefeated at 6-0 in the winning the East Division title, only to be crushed by Miles 50-23 in the SIAC championship game on November 10. 

The win over the Golden Rams gave the Golden Bears the conference title despite finishing the 2018 season with a losing record at 5-6 overall, while ASU finished 7-4 after the loss to Miles. Expect both teams to be mentioned in the conversation among SIAC championship contenders for the 2019 season. Also, Tuskegee will look to bounce back after a disappointing campaign where the Golden Tigers finished 5-5 overall and 3-3 in the SIAC last fall. Don't count out Morehouse either, as the Maroon Tigers are coming off a season where they finished 7-3 overall and 3-3 in the SIAC after starting 5-0.

Finally, the SIAC welcomes back Savannah State as a member after the Tigers spent almost two decades at the NCAA Division I level, with most of those years being a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) within the FCS ranks. The addition of Savannah State gives the SIAC 11 teams for football, with six teams playing in the Eastern Division, and five in the Western Division.
