Can anyone rate some/all of the NAIA conferences in order of level of competition/talent?

Four of the better ones that come to mind are the Golden State, Sooner, Southern States, and TranSouth. However, they can be moving targets as some of these schools are leaving the NAIA to join NCAA Div. II.
The following website provides a breakdown of each school within each conference by sport. Just look under the NAIA heading for Conference Rankings.

I second the vote for the Sooner Athletic Conference, as its members have enjoyed alot of regional and national success, specifically in their baseball programs.
However, there are some major changes occuring in the NAIA athletic landscape due to rising costs and eligibility reform which is pushing member oragnizations to apply for NCAA D2 status.
LCU, a Sooner Athletic Conference top perfromer, is leaving the NAIA and has been accepted for candidacy to NCAA D2 (Heartland Conference) status for the 2012-13 year.
That said, there are still a ton of good NAIA baseball programs staying.
Good luck.... GED10DaD
