Definitely a down year for the A10. Aside from Dayton, it's pretty meh-to-bad. I don't think Loyola is a bad team, but they didn't beat anyone in the nonconference and lost to UIC at home.

I'd peg them somewhere between 4-6 in this year's MVC.

I'll continue to laugh at WSU until forever for joining a league that was never sustainable. Yes, I'm sure their fans are enjoying the top-end steakhouses and the athletic department likes the increased-but-not-program altering TV revenue, but they're worse off than they were and they know it.
