[QUOTE="MA Illini, post: 1300678, member: 56555"] Picking the finish order is always tough because the middle is so tightly packed. If you take this year, and give us a win at Rutgers and a split against PSU we would finished 10-8 and tied for 5th, rather than 9th. Oh, and probably are a 8-9 seed in the tournament with a 50% chance of playing into the second round. The margin is always so thin. With all the uncertainly heading into next year - new coach, loss of a lot of seniors, and a top incoming class. I think we can all understand why someone would pick us 11th when you look at a league where all the sudden Minn and NW were above .500 and should be better next year. It is always going to be easier to pick other teams to likely finish above us. I don't think anyone in their right mind would pick us above 6th given all that uncertainly. I expect all the preseason picks to be in the 9th to 11th range just like last year. I would put my money on 7th or 8th. [/QUOTE]
