Found this on AGS .. as many expected, ISUr is picked 3rd behind NDSU and SDSU. Only surprise here is WIU being picked 8th ... but I am hearing rumblings on AGS that teams like USD and YSU might be mroe competitive this year than last .. so this is why WIU drops. Everything else is right in line with what I and many people have been thinking.
Note, like us, SDSU has a lot coming back, except they lose stud QB. NDSU is probably the most vulnerable they've been since .. oh I dont know ... uh .. 2014, after they lost coaches and many studs from 2013 ... some of you might recall how 2014 worked out for them. ISUb also has a lot returning, though won't sneak up on teams like last year when they were picked to finish 10th in this poll. UNI has enough back to be a contender. So when you combine all these factors, including good vibes coming from YSU and USD .... MVFC looks to be very strong this season .. could be a repeat of 2014, when we had 5 bids and a 6th that probably should have gotten a bid.
Right now, I see the top 5 below all looking top 20 strong, plus couple others knocking on top 25 door.
1. North Dakota State (32) ........................392
2. South Dakota State (4)..........................348
3. Illinois State (3)......................................289
4. Indiana State (1) ....................................279
5. UNI..........................................................266
6. South Dakota.........................................176
7. Youngstown State .................................153
8. Western Illinois......................................128
9. Southern Illinois......................................89
10. Missouri State..........................................80
