Army used to dominate the conference. The reason for that was an Army policy known as ASO which would allow players under pro contract to play pro right away while serving alternative duty in the off season (it was much more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it). Army eliminated the policy in 2008 and 2007 was their last great recruiting class, now graduated (with the exception of one senior this year, held back medically). Their 4 starters in that class were all 91-96 and they usually led the league in all offensive stats.
Since that is no longer in place, and Army has become mortal in the conference again, the league is much more competitive, with Bucknell (always tough) and Holy Cross emerging. It's more of everyone sliding to the middle than an elevation of play to the peak.
