Reevaluating the Predictions

As we head into the start of conference play I wanted to take a look at my previous HL predictions and reevaluate a bit.  As the season has gotten underway and teams have lost certain players my original predictions need a little tweaking!

Instead of a 1-10 I'm going to put the teams in three NFL themed categories.  The first category we'll call the Colts (sorry Brent).  These are teams that have no chance of competing for a league title.  Next we'll get to the group I'll call the Bears.  These are our middle of the pack teams.  Finally we'll have the top tier teams in the group I begrudgingly will call the Packers.  These are the teams who I suspect will challenge for the top two seeds in the league.

The Colts
Loyola, Wright State, Green Bay, and UIC
No real surprises here.  I did think that WSU and Green Bay would be a little better and they may still prove to be...we shall see.

The Bears
Detroit, Youngstown State, Valparaiso, and Butler
Detroit is suffering from losing key players and a short bench.  I'm surprised by YSU's solid record to start the season.   Valpo and/or Butler could step up and join the next group we'll see how well the new players continue to gel.

The Packers
Milwaukee and Cleveland State 
I don't think there is much to debate here.  Cleveland State has been outstanding and has a very good core group of players.  Milwaukee is the defending champs and they too are off to a very good start to their season.

Stay tuned as we will bring you our preview of the Butler/Valpo game in the next couple of days.  We will also be traveling to Hinkle, if you are there stop by and say hello!
