Apologies for the long delay. Vacation --> No WiFi --> Forum Drama and now we are finally back for the back-end of this series.

Iowa won in Middle America North, so Hawks now dominate all of Middle America. App State pulled off a massive upset over Wake while Davidson pulled off a decent showing as well.



All these teams are very close for me once again. A lot depends on the sport. Seeing at Georgetown is our "most hated" rival, I can't put them atop the list, so here goes the aggregate rankings -

The top 6 are really interchangeable depending on the context of the match - it turns into hockey-only, football-only, and then basketball-only depending on location so in retrospect not a great group to pick a favorite.
1. Anchorage
2. Fairbanks
3. Hawaii
4. Georgetown - for the good of the Big East only!
5. GWU
6. American
--
7. Catholic University - Nice place, but I don't get the appeal of going to school in a city and then being that far away from the actual city. I'd much rather be in Foggy Bottom.
--
8. Howard - Not that I hate them, but I much prefer Hampton in their rivalry.

Also, I'd like to note the DC schools picked the most obvious nicknames ever for their schools. I don't think I can even give them credit on that front.

Georgetown, though Alaska-Fairbanks was close behind.

Georgetown is a beautiful campus and a great school. A little confused as to why these three regions are together
