It's October and the season is going to (maybe?!) begin sometime next month.
Some season predictions are starting to fly around, including from this MVC beat writer who apparently isn't buying the Mullins Year 2 hype:

I just can't see Drake and Illinois State that high up on paper..
--Insert something witty here--
Not sure how you can put Illinois State ahead of SIU. I know the Salukis have a ton of new pieces but they're bringing back a lot more talent than the Turds from last year.
I am going with
1. UNI
2. Loyola
3. Bradley
4. Southern Illinois
5. Indiana State
6. Illinois State
7. Missouri State
8. Drake
9. Valparaiso
10. Evansville
but I bet SIU rides the top half this year.
