Another 2006 Ranking

The final Gridiron Power Index numbers from the 2006 season have been posted by College Sporting News and the Ivy League was ranked sixth of 16 conferences in the former I-AA. The news wasn't as good for Dartmouth. (Think of the GPI as a BCS-type gauge of teams and conferences in the old I-AA.) The numbers:

Conference
1. Great West Football Conference (21.64)
2. Atlantic 10 Conference (25.62)
3. Gateway Football Conference (29.64)
4. Big Sky Conference (33.90)
5. Southern Conference (35.24)
6. Ivy League (42.19)
7. Big South Conference (46.87)
8. Southland Conference (50.25)
9. Ohio Valley Conference (50.98)
10. Patriot League (57.52)
11. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (58.16)
12. Southwestern Athletic Conference (64.12)
13. Northeast Conference (65.49)
14. Independents (66.75)

Other Dartmouth Opponents
7. New Hampshire (7.33)
55. Holy Cross (45.11)
