5. SDSU - Anger and Rooney lead the Jacks, but who will be the supporting cast
6. Oakland - Success appears to be in the near future
7. IUPUI - Medicore seems to be the path of the Jags
8. UMKC - Like their unathletic mascot, the Roos appear to be lacking in the talent
9. Centenary - The struggle continues
Obviously, I think ORU and NDSU should be at the top of the class this year, with Western close behind. IPFW has to find a good way to close out their seasons or they will be stuck on the outside looking in. The Jacks have the big unknown, as most of their roster and schedule has yet to be completed. Goodnight returns to help lead the Jags this year. Oakland's depth could be quite scary for fom opponents this year. UMKC just can't impress me no matter how ugly their uniforms are. The Catahoulas of Centenary might have depth and many freshmen, but not much else.
We'll see what happens between now and December.
Thanks for your insight Blue.
