Now im sure some of you will probably think this is a joke of a top 25 poll. But I am a die hard fan of college basketball and here is a look at last years top 25 I had


1. Siena
2. Butler
3. Gonzaga
4. Dayton
5. Western Kentucky

the top 5 are the easy ones
6. Xavier
7. San Diego State
8. UNLV
9. St. Marys
10. Southern Illinois-- player suspended they drop in my ranks
11. Delaware-- Mason or Delaware
12. Radford
13. St. Louis
14. George Mason- will it be Mason or Delaware
15. Tulsa
16. Belmont
17. Toldedo-- Ohio or Toldedo this year
18. Illinois State
19. Niagra
20. Liberty
21. Santa Clara
22. College of Charleston
23. Nicholls State
24. Ohio-- Ohio or Toledo
25. Fairfield

I apparently had Siena at the one spot. Keep I mind I created these last June/July. You could make an argument with Dayton being a Mid Major is the A-10 a power conference now. I think it has proved itself to be a quality conference and I would like to take consider the A10 a power league.

Southern Illinois ended up choking under pressure they had the raw talent but just couldnt handle the pressure Im gonna give them another shot in the 2010-2011 season though.

Delaware was a complete FLOP for me. Im deciding on what to do with them next year. I have to wonder if its there coach thats causing problems they have raw talent for a CAA league that is competitive.

Radford ended up choking in the Conference tourney

St.Louis was a team I was loving in the preseason and they got it done with a very impressive season.

I was having a hard decision with the MAC preseason teams. I loved Toledo and Ohio to win there conference. Toledo like Delaware has the talent but I have to question the coaching. Toledo fired there coach though and will have a new coach for the 2010-2011 season.

Ohio got the job done though and ended up winning the conference. I was loving the Chicago Guard DJ COOPER going to play there. Guard that flew way under the radar not getting the respect he deserved.

Illinois State ended up choking once again

Fairfield had a great season and im expecting high expectations from them in the 2010-2011 season. They have a power TRANSFER coming in. With already the best Guard in the MAAC.

Now lets take a look at next seasons top 25

#12 George Mason University
#13 San Diego State Aztecs
#14 Northern Iowa
#15 St.Marys Gaels (could be joggled with Gonzaga)
#16 Detroit Titans ( could move up)
#17 Florida International University (move up perhaps? )
#18 Virginia Commonwealth Rams
#19 Long Beach State (could drop)
#20 Belmont (COULD RISE)
#21 Temple Owls
#22 George Mason
#23 Morgan State
#24 Central Michigan
#25 Tennesse State or Murray State (OVC)


ROUGH DRAFT OF TOP 25 MID MAJORS

[suckerforparlays]

Southern Illinois just dropped out of the rankings officially. From the #10 spot to not even in the picture now

[BigOrangeTitans]

i absolutely love tenn st here

[jennahazeplays]

butler better thansiena

[clonecat]

Murray State should be in the top 10. Butler is #1.

[suckerforparlays]

i absolutely love tenn st here

I am not going to lie though. I am putting a lot of emphasis into 1 player for this team. I really think he is going to be a make or break player for them

[suckerforparlays]

Murray State should be in the top 10. Butler is #1.

they return a star player in Caanan which he was a pretty highly recruited player to. But they lose all there senior dominance

[goldengoat]

doesn't butler have to be #1? who are they losing?

[Powderguy]

Butler would be #1 for mid majors

[suckerforparlays]

im not really sure why you guys are saying Butler is #1 with a ??

[suckerforparlays]

St.Louis just keeps getting better and better. Holding them at the 2 spot no matter what. They have a very strong class of players coming in.

Rick Majerus doing his work recruting talent

[suckerforparlays]

Im keeping a close eye on BELMONT they have recruited a player from Hargrave Military Academy. Which is a basketball power house . He is a 2nd or 3rd tier player out of the Academy meaning he has played with some of the best talent in the country.

And there leading scorer IAN CLARK was a low profile player I watched early in the season but completly faded BELMONT. He ended up leading the team in scoring his Freshmen year t hough at 15 ppg

[suckerforparlays]

Xavier will drop
BYU will rise
Utah State will rise
New Mexico will drop
SIU if out officially
Fairfield will rise
UNI drops
Detroit rises
FIU rises
LBSU rises
Belmont rises

[bornselling]

Utah State will rise?

[suckerforparlays]

Utah State will rise?

only 1 or 2 spots nothing drastic

[goblue12]

Really like Detroit's team if McCallum's kid is as good as advertised.

They won 26 games, had a good run in Conference Tourney, and the A-10 Player of the year, Kevin Anderson, withdrew from NBA draft

[vegasplays]

are you an idiot? xavier is not a midmajor. someone delete this post...all of you are idiots.

[suckerforparlays]

are you an idiot? xavier is not a midmajor. someone delete this post...all of you are idiots.

are you an IDIOT tell me when you see a f u cking Atlantic 10 game on tv every single night. Tell me when they get there own f ucking national broadcast put on. Tell me when they play Power Conferences every single day of the week.


Big Ten Network own channel

Pac 10 Sunday Hoops on comcast on sundays

SEC hoops ESPN

ACC Hoops on Comcast on sundays

The A-10 has there own package of some sort but you have to live in that area.

I live in the Midwest so I see MVC and Horizion league basketball games aired on television frequently. It depends on where you live.


Atlantic 10? I love the conference but there not on daily. There an elite program but they dont play nationally recognized programs every day. Get a ****ing life man
