I have you finishing 3rd one spot behind ASU.

And where do you have the new guys?

Good luck... Our conference was a top 4 conference last year.

TXST and UTA kept the SLC in the top 8-10 for years (at least until OOC play was mostly over) and pulled the WAC's up last year. Don't count us out on making noise or playing spoilers; at least until we get our feet wet in the SBC.

We may not have gotten far in the NCAA's but I think that will change now. (due to better recruits, even if we haven't done too bad lately)

UTA has played in five NCAA's. Due to the SLC's profile, we were the last seed three times. One of the times we weren't was when six teams played in a regional and the 3/4 loser played the 1/6 winner. Opening a tournament against Rice and UT isn't exactly a recipe for winning.

Playing in a better conference would have given us better seeding and better opportunities for wins. We all know the system is stacked against the lower teams and conferences.

I wont make my official predictions until a couple days before the regular season begins. I have to write 10 team previews this year, and then be able to write a brief synopsis on both App and Georgia Southern with their Southern Conference predictions...which means I have an entire separate conference to research.

You'll just have to wait until then. (FYI, I was joking about picking ASU 2 Troy 3. I don't know enough about the other league teams yet to pick ASU's place.)
