Sorry I cannot properly post this frickin link to College sportsmadness--can some one do this for me?
It chooses one team every day till basketball season, starting at #144.
They chose Grambling as #144 , Illinois as #143 and UNI at #129 so far--hopefully the MVC gets 3-4 in top 100
Link doesn't seem to work, but folks who want to read it could always use google.

These guys picked Loyola to win the Valley last year. Too bad they only had them ranked at #100!
Minnesota at 114
South Carolina #113
Valpo in at #112
MVC so far:
#112 - Valpo
#129 - UNI
Could we have 4 teams in top 100?---seven more teams to go
I think Valpo and UNI could be sleepers this year. Valpo's size could be tough to handle.
#111 Iona 20-11, won their tournament and lost by 22 to Duke in first round NCAA
#110 Cal-Fullerton was 20-12 in 2017-18 , finished fourth in Big West but won the Conf. Tournament and went to NCAAs
#109 Lipscomb, they were 23-10, won Conf. Tournament and went to NCAA's
#108---Eastern Michigan 22-13, CIT--won one game in it
#107 Montana State
#106 Vermont was 27-8 (15-1 in American East) NIT , got beat in their tournament--projected to win it this year and go to NCAA
#105--Duquesne 16-16 last season but second year coach Keith Dambrot has 4 D-1 transfers and good recruiting class to improve according to Madness
