BullsFan14 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Looks as if NBC Sports Podcast released a top 25 for mid-major. We are listed as #1! https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2018/09/27/nbcsports-coms-preseason-mid-major-power-rankings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 An interesting set of teams. I don't see any of the good Mid-Major conferences on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGBull Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Yeah some good conferences and teams were excluded. "Note: No teams from the American, Atlantic 10, ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Mountain West, Pac-12 or SEC were eligible. The same goes for Gonzaga and BYU out of the WCC." My guess is they counted the P5 conferences as "Power" conferences. Then you have American, A10, Big East, and Mountain West as "Major" conferences. So the rest are counted as "Mid-Major "or "Small". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue32 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 To me, more interesting than our ranking is seeing Southern Illinois ranked #5. I had seen them projected near the top of the MVC but didn't expect to see them this high. If they can perform to this level that'd be huge for us with them on our schedule twice this year.

Kevin Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 84th? Woof. I do not like that at all. We've been top 40 pretty much everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent on that roster is insane. At the very least they should be top 10 I would think. Anyway, Buffalo #2, can't complain. Of course, Gonzaga is barely a mid major.......

Gonzaga I suppose is a really good example on you can become a powerhouse team and still be in a mid major conference. Hopefully that's where Buffalo is heading.
