If you read this blog much, you know I love Ken Pomeroy. His site is invaluable for college basketball wisdom, and I would recommend anyone that follows the sport to subscribe.
So when he released his preseason rankings, of course I was going to check them out. They are, shall we say, a little bit different from my rankings. Here they are (with national rank in parenthesis):
1. Montana (103) - 16-4
2. Northern Colorado (170) - 13-7
3. Weber State (187) - 13-7
4. North Dakota (203) - 12-8
5. Southern Utah (263) - 10-10
6. Sacramento State (271) - 9-11
7. Eastern Washington (278) - 9-11
8. Portland State (279) - 9-11
9. Montana State (311) - 7-13
10. Northern Arizona (325) - 6-14
11. Idaho State (328) - 6-14

Real surprised to see UNC above Weber. Even more surprised to see S Utah that high. No way is SUU finishing in the top half of the conference. Also, E Wash will be better than 7th.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that SUU is not in bottom 3 where they have been in most of the rankings. One thing computers don't see is the fact that they are the lone wolf which doesn't help.
ReplyDeleteYup, being the lone wolf does not help at all.
