Hey Al, think you might have missed Truman St. in the latest update. I have to support my Mid-America brothers.

You're right, gris. Truman is #9. I skipped over them when I was typing the list.

It's been corrected. Thanks!

(Also, I had to penalize your So. Indiana team. It's payback for beating me in Rupp last season)

So if St. Paul's beats your Bowie St team tonight, are you going to punish S. Indiana & ensure they are kepy out of the #1 spot again next year?

YES!!!! Although I probably won't have to. Emporia St. has a title, a runner-up and a Final Four in the past 4 years. They'll be pretty hard to overtake

I did the first list two years ago, on May 16, 2006.

There were 35 teams on the initial list. Only 7 of them are still listed today...N. Florida, SIU-Edwardsville, Seattle Pacific, Mars Hill, Caldwell, Edinboro, and Queens (NC)

You always have to find a way to pump up Mars Hill don't you, al!

Interesting comparison. Some difference but not much.

I have Paine a little low and Wisconsin-Parkside a little high.

(Correction: WIS has Paine too high and Parkside too low.)
