I think this shows that the ASun schools could compete in the Southern. According to Sagarin, ETSU and Belmont would be 6th and 7th in the Southern, very respectable. Plus, our conference leader (Jacksonville), would be a very impressive 10th in the Southern.

Interesting that Elon, a favorite pick-on of ASun fans, is ranked above Lipscomb in this week's poll.

It's understandable that the Southern allows The Citadel to remain in their conference. After all, their players serve their country in the Navy after their basketball careers. Kennesaw's players...well, that's another story.
