The CIT has a weekly midmajor poll that is voted on by midmajor coaches. It will be interesting to see if we get any recognition there. Id take their results a lot more seriously than the Field of 68. I doubt they’ll put us in the top 25, but even making the receiving votes list is a massive improvement from where expectations started this season. collegeinsider.com/mens-mid-major-top-25That isn't a mid-major poll, it's the bottom half of conferences. I have never liked these polls as they are used to divide D-1 programs. If you are going to use one of these, there are a couple that include the A-10, MWC and AAC. If the A-10 and MWC aren't included, then neither should we. Shame on Schertz for participating. Good catch. I saw Gonzaga at 1 and just assumed it included everyone outside the P6.

If we are going to rank ourselves as a mid-major, then this poll is at least a little more accurate of defining mid-majors.

Wow, he has us in fourth place in the MVC and Drake in fifth place. What a difference a blowout loss by Drake today and some impressive wins by us makes.

Polls for people who like to count things, but if there is legitimacy here, it's odd that Murray and Belmont -- who dominated the OVC -- moved into the MVC and are essentially considered bottom feeders after one season. I still think 4th through 8th is a matter of one or two games.

We are only 4 games into the season so I'm not tooting my horn yet on how good we are. We are definitely a lot better than last year and I believe our first road game at Missouri St. might give us a hint of how good we could be.

These mid-major polls have no more meaning than Wyatt Wheeler's, and are less entertaining. Admittedly, I didn't think he had it in him, but worst to first already.

Top right quadrants where you wanna be on this graphic. Looks like we’re right there with Bradley as far as these metrics go
