MSU checks in at #35, WSU in at #40

As an outside party, I have enjoyed the toughness of both teams. Makes me miss the Saluki teams that played with toughness.

Before the season last year I picked WSU to be one or two in the league. WSU is going to be far better this year. I think what was lost will be replaced easily.

and all this pisses me off.

Man, I feel your pain. You gotta hope SIU pulls itself back soon, because once a program outside of the BCS tanks for several years it gets real hard to get back to a desirable level of competitiveness. It was a terrible off season for you guys, but all is not lost yet.
