While the Davenport Panthers may not be thought of as one of the elite-elite teams just yet, they don't shy away from a challenge.

Davenport played eight games against Top-10 opposition, more than anyone else. They took on three other ranked teams, plus a tough Canadian opponent. They were helped by being in the Mid-South, but then so were Lindenwood and Life. So the difference? They also played Indiana and Western Ontario.
