Pre-Season Rankings
Posted: Sat Jun 03, 2023 9:26 am
I know pre-season rankings are often worthless, but they ARE the basis for what happens once the season starts. It's hard to be in position to win a championship at the end of the season if you're not in the Top Ten before the season starts. (Probably not impossible, but certainly much more difficult.)
In any event, the Big Sky has SIX teams ranked, including our beloved Hornets. I'm shocked to see us ranked so high given how much we've lost to graduation, not to mention the shift in coaching staff. I'm even MORE shocked to see Idalol ranked ahead of us. While seeing the Kitties ahead of us hurts, that's not so surprising. I would be much more likely to put the Griz or BBQ ahead of us than Idalol, though.
That said, it'll be VERY interesting to see how things actually play out....
