These schools have been dominant in the NCAA tournament at the D2 level and have multiple national championships throughout the conference. There have been some rumblings about which conference is the best and how they compare to others and no doubt the GLIAC was brought up.

In the TikTok above, you can hear as the GLIAC is compared to what many consider to be the best conference for football at the Division 1 level, the SEC. They also went as far as to say that FSU is the best team in the country, quoting how easily they move the ball down the field and highlighting their back-to-back national championships. They even compared them to Nick Saban and Alabama.

Do you agree? Do you think there is any competition in the country for the GLIAC? Do you think anyone will be able to dethrone the current champions or will the Bulldogs from Ferris State reign supreme again?
