There hasn't been a PFL game played to this point. I don't think there's a program in the league that thus far has looked good including the likes of San Diego which, if they don't win vs. more highly rated FCS programs, is usually competitive which they have not been.

I guess we'll start to see next week.

I think it is just very clear that Pioneer teams can't compete against the top FCS programs.  We got clocked by NDSU, #14 Northern Iowa beat St. Thomas 44-3, #9 Southern Illinois beat Dayton 55-3, #16 North Dakota beat Drake 38-0 and FCS Campbell beat Presbyterian 72-0!  JD24 is correct. We will start to figure out who is now the top of the Pioneer starting next week and I would think Valpo will be very competitive going forward.

Even in our best years, we get clocked by FCS scholarship and Ivy League teams.  My first year on campus, we lost to Yale 48-2, but still won the PFL.
