College Sports Madness' 2017-18 Top 144 Countdown

[tornado]

#76 Ohio State
#75 BYU
#74 Houston
#73 FGCU - http://www.collegesportsmadness.com/article/15072
#72 St. Joseph's
#71 Fresno State

once again a reminder of our agonizing recent past....we see that the two programs that benefited most in all of NCAA from the housecleaning here by JG/MC were FGCU (Ken Kavanagh has been highly successful there) and UC-Davis.
..and for at least the past 4-5 years we have seen that both of those programs are well ahead of where JG/MC mired Bradley for 6 straight years.

Thankfully we see the light at the end of the tunnel and so do others with Bradley being picked in the upper half of the MVC this season. This could be our breakout year!

Ironic. Both those programs (FGCU & UC-Davis) came from obscurity and were irrelevant and bad, and neither had ever come close to a winning season in Division I until they were taken over by Bradley castoffs (Kavanagh & Les).
Since then, they have both won conference championships, both have won post-season conference tournaments, both have earned bids to the NCAA Tournament, and both have won NCAA Tournament games! Meanwhile, Bradley has lingered at or near the bottom of the MVC for the past 6+ years, and never gotten out of Thursdays in the MVCT, as was predicted.
