91 Southern Illinois

I really do not care how many MVC teams get bids as long as BU gets one. It would not bother me if the Valley only gets one bid for the next 100 years as long as it is BU getting the bid.

36 Drake

85 Bradley
88 Illinois State

Using Sagarin's Predictor... that would mean Drake is favored by 3 1/2 AT Bradley.

Bradley is 76.47 in the (Blue) Predictor.

Or are you supposed to use the (Purple) Rating?
