The Sun Belt seems to be a battlefield with Arkansas State, Arkansas-Little Rock, South Alabama, Middle Tennessee, and Western Kentucky getting some love in the polls this year. No one probably thought that WKU would be the best of the bunch. xthumbsupx

I take it the A10 is not mid major?

It depends on who you talk to. If it was me, I don't believe they are a Mid-Major conference. All college basketball magazines doesn't label the A-10 as a Mid-Major conference either. They get mulitple teams in the NCAA Tournament. Maybe not 5,6,7 teams but mulitple teams nevertheless. :)

The A-10 is just as Mid Major as the MVC. Last year was the first year in I can't remember how long that the MVC only had one bid. And we've had as many as four. And the MVC is very competitive with the A-10, I wouldn't be surprised the slightest if we beat them head to head.

A-10 definitely not a Mid-Major, and neither is the MVC. If you have your League title game on CBS, you can't really be considered Mid-Major anymore.

So this is the 1AA poll of college basketball.
