Absolutely not , I watched the both scrimmages and have been to that tourney for years and have seen OCC have a ton of success at that tourney. Remember there team is mostly freshmen and to have them play wth those teams after only being together for a few weeks is pretty impressive in my eyes. Your best bet is go watch , that usually is the best research . Its been a while but I believe both games Cortland and RIT jumped out on them in first qtr but 2nd ,3 rd qtrs with starters OCC dominated. Also several top OCC guys were playing for Iroquois world team that day at the dome.  And not sure why winning a national championship game by a goal is considered a bad result ? It sounds like you are finding reasons why not to respect what they are doing and the high end players they have sent Cuse over the years. (Sid Smith, Jeremy Thompson, Tim Barber, Warren Hill, Cody Jamieson, Matt Pratt ,Randy Staats, I feel like there was others but can't remember names)

Go research this one... OCC has more pro MLL players than any other College in the country, I believe Ohio State is second. Look at just OCC's attack this season Austin Staats, Russ Oakes and James Sexton are all very high end d1 players.

As far as competition, I agree that JUCO lacrosse has some bad teams in it. But the top 6-8 teams are similar to d2 teams at that level. Most Nassau kids end up being Adelphi or NYIT best players. Essex kids go to Towson, UMBC etc...

At least 3/4 x a year I watch these guys play, and always enjoy the level of talent and the style. Next season go watch them and i bet your opinion or your focus you have to shoot them down might change.
