Creighton should be a good team this year. Not to knock em, but I think I would have put them a couple of places lower.

I think they are overrated too but the problem is teams 16-20 are pretty much garbage. Hard not to argue Creighton above that group.

The biggest thing that I noticed is how hilarious Lindy's is for having SLUH in the top 8. The polls won't even have them in the top 25. They won't make the NCAA Tournament in the end and one of the preview mags had them top 8. Mindboggling.

The BlueJays should be a legitimate top-10 or top-15 team this year. How many teams in the nation are returning 4 starters from a top-25 team with a win in the NCAA's - and one of those players is an AA and national PoY candidate?

As much as i hate Creighton i want to see them have a great season and do some damage (as long as we beat them when we play them)! National attention that Creighton can/will be receiving this year is great for the Valley.

Just 2 weeks to opening night!!!!!!!

With the talent they have between some of the new guys and the returning stars, avoiding major injuries to any of the older guys, I feel it's going to be a amazing ride this year.

Dare I say final 16 or better. :bounce:

Doug will be Doug, so cool and calm he makes everyone else relax and focus on the task at hand.

Gregory looks like he will be a beast. He is going to have a special year.

The top half of the Valley looks improved and will be a tough out every night and the Jays will have a huge target on their backs so they will have to bring it every night.

Although I hate the cool/cold weather coming, can't wait for Nov 2nd to get here!

:Cheers:

Whether opposibg fans want to admit it or not it'd be good for all of us if Creighton stays ranked all year.

100%. I think we'd all love for any Valley team to be a top 10. I can't say I'll root for em, but it would be great for all of us.

I don't know how the Blue Jay train can be derailed.

Final Four, baby.

I would also like to see Creighton ranked all year as well. It will give the Valley some great recognition which is great, because it seems like it will be a lot more competitive this year. I just hope we don't rip each other's RPI all apart when the dust settles come March. But hey, at least that makes it realllllyy interesting.

Go MVC! :Cheers:
