nice for the MCC but I think they are all ranked too high

I think all 3 teams will drop because I would not be surprised if all 3 of the teams were to split there games this year. So basically they are just going to beat up on each other here in the MCC and then go out to NAIA and surprise a lot of people.

I kind of doubt HU will keep their naia ranking for very long.They open against Indiana Tech and then that weekend they play Georgetown&Judson.IWU is also playing in the tournament at HU.They go on the road to play Aquinas,Ohio Dominican&Cornerstone.They have a pretty tough pre-conference schedule then they start conference play on the road at Taylor&Grace.
