Northern Darkness

It has recently come to my attention that the Northern Sun conference in Division II no longer plays nonconference games during the regular season.  Like the NESCAC (D3), this will force me to exclude them from rankings during the season.  Hopefully, nonconference games will be restored in the near future.  In the meantime, ranking the Northern Sun relative to the rest of the D2 football world is now reduced to a process of generating random numbers.  Too bad.
