Birds come in at 15, immediately ahead of Indiana State and UNI a couple further back. NDSU is 1, James Madison 2, SDSU is 3.
From the accompanying story, "Five teams that weren't ranked at the end of last season enter the new campaign in the Top 25, led by No. 15 Illinois State, which hasn't met lofty preseason expectations in recent seasons."
Ouch.
I think 15 is about right given our recent records. If we can be more consistent, and a bit more efficient, we'll be very good.
