College Basketball 2016-17 Men's Basketball Top 144 -1 / Teams predicted rank in Conference
On the Bracketolgy side of the countdown, simply filling in the 8 conference Champs from the bottom 8 leagues, obviously eliminates 8 of the 68 spots available.
All three CUSA teams that remain will be in the top 99, It is still a coin toss who those three will be.
Only 3 of the below teams will be selected, who will be the three on the outside looking in!
1 Middle Tennessee
2 Old Dominion
3 UAB
4 Western Kentucky
5 La Tech
6 Charlotte
The fact is three (3) will be in the Top 99, the other three (3) will not even be considered a team in the top 144....Ouch.
CUSA is receiving very little respect. IMO the 6 listed above could and should have all been in the top 144. There is no way all of those schools should be ranked below many of the teams listed so far on the Madness Top 144 Poll.
