Official 2013-14 MVCfans.com Prediction - 9th Place

[MVCfans]

This poll format is actually a really cool experiment in crowdsourcing. As of this writing, 70+ of the most rabid and knowledgeable fans in the league have voted. And since the poll is going place-by-place in the league, it weeds out the "outliers" of people voting out of animus or ignorance about a particular team. I wouldn't be surprised if this poll ends up being much, much closer to the actual results than the official preseason poll.

When it gets to 8th or 7th, I myself will consider voting for Loyola.

I will need to go back and find each of the fan poll results and compare against the media poll and the eventual outcome.

Was told by Mike Kern yesterday that MVC media day is scheduled for Oct. 30 in Chicago. That means I will probably need to speed up the voting process a little bit to get our results completed before the official media release. On Monday when we begin voting for 8th place, I will start running each poll for 5 instead of 7 days.

That's kind of some big news. When was the last time Media Day wasn't in St. Louis?

I think this is going to be a crucial year for Muller at Illinois State. He really blew it last year so the natives will be restless, but last place ? The Redbrids always do better than predicted because of the haters.

Kind of like last year when you were predicted second and finished better than that. Oh wait...

There was no media day last year - just a conference call.

The gap closed at the end, but I think we are okay to call this one: The official MVCfans.com prediction for 9th place during the 2013-14 men's Missouri Valley Conference basketball season - Drake Bulldogs.

The voting for 8th place will begin shortly.
