How people see UNI as an 8 or 9 is just blind lack of respect for "mid majors". UNI is back in the ESPN top 25, 26 in the AP, and to 20 in the RPI.
28-4 and 12-2 against the RPI top 100

I think UNI is getting disrespected as a team, I am not sure its all the midmajors. I think UNI should be higher, but I think they will give a team like Siena a much higher seed.

Siena will not get a better seed than UNI.
UNI will be at least a 7 IMO. There is no way we get put in that 8/9 game with our resume.

btw, APP and Wofford are going at it right now. Wofford up 7 with a few minutes left to play. Would be their first bid ever.
