Shox lost too much from last season to warrant any higher than fifth.

Wsu is not Evansville. Wsu may have lost experience, but there has been an upgrade in talent level.

I expect it to finish

Evansville
WSU
Illinois State
UNI
Creighton

ISU and UNI could easily switch.

I'm not touching the Evansville part, but the remainder of your quote seems to beg credibility just a bit. You lost all-conference caliber players in Ragland, Stutz and Murry. To say that the guys coming in will be more talented from day one would appear to be pretty optimistic to say the least; and, if true, would leave WSU with no excuses if it doesn't win the league title outright.

As to the poll in this thread, I am surprised it is this close.

To use your own words again
"Delusion of grander" usually end once the season starts and you have to play a game

Without a doubt. If WSU has better talent than last year, then we should be voting them first. I voted for WSU to finish fifth just because I think the Aces will finish higher than that, and apparently there are others who think the same.
