Going strong, and still no CUSA representation yet. Probably should change soon.

I doubt they will have WKU inside the top 144 with so much turnover, but I do expect

ODU
La Tech
UTEP
UAB
MT

Probably a safe bet. Can't imagine anyone else is in the top 110 that are left.

You might be correct about that, but I am not so sure about LA Tech being in the Top 110 since that is what remains. They have lost a lot since the end of last season, including most if not all of the coaches. My hope is that all of the above mentioned schools have strong seasons and are among the Top 100 during the season. That would be the best thing for the conference.

ESPN's early season write up.

I wonder. We have most of our team returning, I'm not sure how good this team can be. Tremendous, pain in the ass defense, yeah, but offense, rebounding? Just not sure.

I think MT will be good this year. Stiff competition as always.

ODU and UAB prob in the 60-70 range.

Good enough to still be included imo

Just curious as to the credibility level of this poll vs. the OS football preseason poll?

They're doing their top 104 for football. Probably on the opposite end of the Sentinel. It's far harsher on CUSA:

1 (55). WKU 
2 (61). Marshall
3 (68). La Tech
4 (81). Rice
5 (95). Middle Tennessee
6 (100). ODU
7 (104). FAU

UTEP, 46 on the OS, isn't even listed. Not sure how accurate they are on hoops, but I don't think anyone else does something like this.

this site has been doing this for many years. they do give the smaller schools some pub if they feel that school has a lot coming back. that said i've seen times where thier prediction didn't include all of a teams newcomers so they don't stay super on top of it.

104 (5th in CUSA): UTEP.

Unfortunately, probably determined before this week's news.

100 (4th in CUSA): Middle Tennessee.

Will be curious to see who will join UAB and ODU in the top 3 for C-USA.

MT has a chance to be good, more length than last season and better depth.


Team leaves for the Bahamas on Aug 10th.

I think MT is the most likely to be top 3 personally although I could also see UTEP since they at least recovered from those losses last week with the addition of what looks like a solid PF.

Louisiana Tech in at #81.

Their report on the Bullsogs...

Seems like a very fair write-up to me.

Really didn't expect to see La Tech in this. Hopefully they can finish somewhere in this neighborhood.

Just can't imagine La Tech being very good this year after losing their coach, so many players, and some of their recruits.
