It has all the usual teams at the top, but note Wichita State at #12. And despite having 3 teams in the Elite 8 this year, the Big Ten has just 1 team in the first 18 on the list (Wisconsin at #3).

UNI gets ranked #10

And Illinois State is #18 - but they have a little inaccuracy....
"Illinois State loses some of its depth with Zach Lofton and Nick Zeisloft graduating."


the links on the right also take you to their predictions of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Team midmajor All Americans, and they list three Shockers (Baker, Van Vleet, and Cotton) plus Tuttle & Balentine..
