Is it void of subjectivity or does your disdain for Bradley, etc come into play? 🤣 🤣 🤣

KenPom released their 2022 preseason rankings and here's where the MVC stacks up:
#32 Loyola Chicago
#66 Missouri State
#74 Drake
#110 Northern Iowa
#134 Southern Illinois
#171 Evansville
#174 Bradley
#187 Indiana State
#202 Illinois State
#236 Valpo
As I said in the schedule thread, not sure how much stock I put into preseason rankings with freshmen and transfers coming in to each school and not knowing how they're going to gel.
I'm surprised Valpo is dead last by a mile and I'm also surprised Drake and Northern Iowa are so low. KenPom also likes Evansville a lot more than I do.
I do like that SIU is getting a big bump despite finishing #192 last year. SIU hasn't finished higher than #134 since 2010 when they finished #123 (Barry's best season was #135 in 2018 and Mullins' best season so far was #178 in 2020).
In case anyone was still doubting how good the Valley will be this year.
The valley will be strong this year no doubt but a controlled scrimmage is not the best way to judge how good someone is especially when you don't know what each team was working on or who is healthy
Never even heard of Ashland.
