It would be great for them to stay that way. Its too hard to move up in the rankings for Mid-majors as it is. Unless we start high and play our butts off, we'd never get anywhere.
With Boise and Hawaii's player losses, I think we should be ranked ahead of them in national polls. This season shapes up to be one of the best yet. I was thrilled at Tommy B's improvements this year, and if it continues into next...looks real good.
It is important to be ranked in the preseason rankings. If the Dogs can come out of the blocks strong against UCLA, Wisconsin, and Kansas State, I think they will rise quickly in the rankings and be ranked anywhere from 15-19 by the fourth week of the season. Victories against Toledo and Boise on the road should also bode well for the Dogs.
I Can't wait,should be a great season . Boise shouldn't be a real problem this year. The Badgers will easily be the toughest and to get out even close will help for the rankings. Starting in the top 25 matters so much.
