Preseason DII-AA Rankings

[WesVLT]

Preseason rankings are notorious for rampant speculation and wild inaccuracy. I don't think it's fair to make a 1-to-10 rundown of Division II's best teams without seeing them play. I do, however, believe we can venture to name where teams generally stand heading into the season. Teams are listed alphabetically inside their tiers.

Oops! Chalk it up to preseason rust. Ryan goes in the bottom category. Thanks for the oversight!

I am really looking forward to the outcome of the CBHS-MBA and MUS-BA games during Week 0. I think both of those games are very interesting - especially so early in the season. I do not think that this is by any means a cakewalk for Ensworth. I think MBA, Baylor and BA all have a chance at beating them during the regular season and then throw MUS and CBHS into the mix in the playoffs. I expect to see a very exciting season!!!!
