NBC ranks the mid-majors (they count Wichita as a high-major -odd, but they do include other MVC teams here)

#1 Valparaiso - nice comments about Alec Peters
#2 UAB
#3 Stephen F. Austin
#4 Belmont
#5 Central Michigan
#6 Iona
#7 UC-Irvine
#8 Yale
#9 North Florida
#10 Evansville
#11 Hofstra
#12 Louisiana (Lafayette)
#13 Columbia

(just my opinion but betcha ISU could beat Columbia, Yale, and a few of the other teams above them)
