Pre-season Bracketology
Since things like this usually only appeal to the fans of the teams that are mentioned, ESPN's Lunardi has his first (very early) bracket picks of the year. ETSU is a 13 seed.

RE: Pre-season Bracketology
Clearly Lunardi has the Bucs not only winning the SoCon, but getting a fair seed. It would be nice if that turned out. Obviously I think there's a good chance that it will.

In preseason ratings last season people got a pretty good bead on the SoCon ranking with a conventional wisdom around a top 4 of Wofford, UNCG ETSU and Furman, with an edge to Wofford or UNCG and ETSU a cut below, with Furman usually 4th. What people mostly missed was how good that top 4 would be compared to the rest of D1, and especially how exceptional Wofford would be.

This year, with key losses to those top teams, and more or less unproven replacements, there's more guess work. We're probably less likely to get a consensus.

This is the first ranking I've seen (other than mine) to put the Bucs on top in the SoCon. As people take a good look at what's returning, I don't think it will be the last.
