Agreed! With the closest FCS programs being Missouri State, Western and non-scholarship Drake, the MIAA has a lot of FCS level talent who play at the DII level. Enjoy your visit the KC area...

You could probably make the case for NWMS being the second best college football team in Missouri, at least this year. I'm pretty sure they could beat Missouri State and most likely they'd be able to beat SEMO (they really only beat SIU and Murray State this year). Div. 1 rankings would be: Mizzou, NWMS, SEMO, MSU
