Doing this proved how hard it is. 5-12 is honestly just a guessing game. And 1-4 not much more predictable.

1 Bradley (gotta recognize success; this pains me)
2 Indiana St (defense seems a bit less quality than Bradley, but better Offense)
3 Drake (wait and see if Drake can figure out defense, if not they may trade w/ UNI at some point)
4 Missouri St (giving the edge to Devries over Ford right now, but could flip these)
- -
5 Northern Iowa (Born’s not healthy and I think that shows in Valley play)
6 UIC (they look much improved and can compete for the middle)
7 Evansville (early reaction, but I think they deserve it)
8 SIU (again, they’ve played well early but I think Valley coaches scout them out of their style)
9 Belmont (with Tyson back they probably go up, w/o probably here or tier below)
- -
10 Murray St (their lack of quality bigs and defense get them here)
11 Illinois St (inconsistent right now, but could play their way up if they figure it out)
- -
12 Valparaiso (gonna be a long year in Valparaiso land)

I posted this earlier, so I won’t update now that Evansville is playing well and Valpo not so much
