(KMAland) — Dr. Ted Goudge, a Shenandoah native and retired Associate Professor of Geography at Northwest Missouri State University, has released his latest geography map.

The Northwest Bearcats are preparing for the 2025 season. This proportional symbol map is based on Div. II team success over the past 16 years, minus the cancelled 2020 season (due to Covid pandemic).  One point is awarded for each round a team makes during the post-season playoffs. Six points are possible if a team wins a national championship.  90 points would be the maximum possible if a team won a title each of the 15 years. Northwest Missouri State leads the nation with 45 points, followed by Ferris State (2024 champion) with 39, Valdosta State (GA) with 34, Minnesota State-Mankato 32, and Shepherd (WV) 29.
