Nicholls made the Mid-Major poll with 8 - 6. TxSt did not. Go figure.

Mid-Major poll includes # 16 SFA & Nicholls, UTSA, Lamar in others receiving votes.

Lamar? They're 10 - 4 and only get 64 poll points?

Gonzaga is # 3 at 10 - 4. Is it their rep or their SOS? And why is SFA in there but not Lamar? Same reasoning?

[dbackjon]

Gonzaga has tough scedule

Wins at Tennessee (twice), Maryland, Indiana, Washington State. Beat Oklahoma State.

Lost to #2 UConn by 5, Lost at Arizona. Lost at Utah by 1.

[CatMom]

Thanks. I figured SOS. Not complaining mind you, I routinely root for Gonzaga (in the NCAA's) Giant killers. Wanted to see what their OOC schedule entailed this year.

The Southland teams aren't nearly as good as the overall records say because they play by far the most non-DIs of any conference (most of them play 3 or 4 drop down games).

So who is the favorite? SFA? TAMU? UTSA??

So who is the favorite? SFA? TAMU? UTSA??

SFA and UTA were the early favorites. TAMUCC was picked near the bottom so they are looking good in conference play so far. It kills me that they beat Texas St so bad.

-NWST picks up their first conference win of the season, dropping McNeese St to last in the East.

Katy, TX is just down the road from me so I would really like to go see Texas State play. It sucks their first game is at 1 pm on Thursday. If they win that one I can attend the Friday game.

And the Bobcats are out. Threw away a game to Nicholls today.

[slycat]

And top seeded SFA gets the SLC bid. This will be their first tourney bid in school history. Good luck Jacks.

Sam Houston didn't win this? I thought they rule the Southland in all sports?
