Mitchell Northam, a contributor to Mid-Major Madness, has put out a Way-Too-Early poll for next season. He has SFA at #24.

From what I have seen on Twitter, a lot of the guys from Mid-Major Madness have us in that 20-25 range. I'm interested to see where CollegeInsider.com has us...

I agree. I think we should be hovering between 10-15 to start the year, and should move up into the top 10 by conference play.

Is the game schedule finalized this early?

Game schedule probably won't be released until September, although if they score some newsworthy games they will probably release those early.

We are not ranked since most voters put as in 20s.
Loyola at #3 is a bit much. One good season and a magical run and now they are a mid major powerhouse. I feel like it is just writers trying to get a good story or headline

I'm oddly okay with Loyola being there. They weren't scrubs when they got into the tournament. Remember they did beat Florida in the swamp during non-conference, and they bring back a lot of key players. Do I see another Final Four run? Nope, but they will be very good.

South Dakota State and BYU in the top-5 is questionable at best. Actually, I see a lot wrong with their poll...Western Kentucky at #11? Nope. Montana and Old Dominion? I dunno.

I do think Georgia State should be slightly higher.
