Paul is DA MAN


"Dream season: Illinois wins five games:"

This must be what happens if Beckman DOES....HIS.....JOB

Wow that is just horrifically bad. Wonder if he has ever ranked a B10 team that low

Jim Delaney will be yanking his credentials to big ten media day any minute now....

Is Illinois still part of the "Murderer's row"?

Illinois should be thankful that Myerberg didnt "Sagarin" them, or else they would have been 112 behind UW Whitewater and Mount Union.

My thoughts exactly, 27 or 28.

Where I think Huskies belong 20-25 like Bleeds

My predictions:

Myerberg: 23
preseason AP: 27
preseeason Coaches: 29
first Sagarin ratings: 87

They'll look at what we lost on defense and put us at #41.

41 would be a shocker, every team loses something, and in relative terms NIU is in good shape. There are too many people that are going to have NIU in their top 25 just on the Orange Bowl alone to think we will start that low. Worst case scenario I would see is lower 30s.

That is bad news about Loos, I didnt realize he was out going intio this year, any chance he could be back in time for last half of season?

But they will assume that as a mere MAC team we won't be able to replace our losses.

You're painting with a very broad brush here. Myerberg is well schooled with high non-aq and Mac acumen unlike most. He's usually fairly high on the top maC teams in his rankings and has been fond of Niu in recent years. He'll have us in the 20-30 range.

Not every MAC team goes to the Orange Bowl.

PM had Ohio at #26 in last year's countdown, he's not afraid to show the MAC some love.

Yes I'm painting with a broad brush. He's the exception then.
