It's get real time - where will your team finish?

Lots of speculation and conjecture. Call it like you see it and be ready to eat crow if you're wrong.

I'll start - SIU doesn't finish last. Instead we'll be ninth.

Illinois State will finish 6th and avoid the play in games. If they don't, show Jank the door.

BU will finish 7th (safe pick), though as a BU fan, my heart tells me #6.
SIU and BU at #6 & #7 as 2 surprise teams.

I really don't see a big difference between the #6 to #10 teams at this point.

Since CU was picked to win it this year, I'll be a homier and pick WSU. More than half the time the favorite doesn't win.

Redbirds will finish 5th or 6th. I agree with red. It's time for Jank to prove his worth in this conference. Youth can no longer be an excuse. Our fans expect us to compete for the title in the 2012-13 season and if we don't finish in the middle this year and show some progress, it could be bye bye.

1. Missouri State will finish fourth or higher.

2. Creighton will not win the regular season.

Bradley will finish 10th...but it will be a battle between the embarassing state of Illinois teams for the last three spots in the league.

I keep going back and forth between Creighton and Wichita State. Today, I'm picking Wichita State. I can't help myself

There was a nice stat thrown out there that the last time ISU was picked to finish 8th in the preseason picks, they went on to win the valley title. :Cheers:

I don't see the Aces "dragging down the Valley" like some Valley Talk aholes have said in prior years, but I predict a disappointing 6th place finish for the Aces given their weak inside play.
