Conference #13 – Southland

Conference Winner:  Stephen F. Austin

Here’s where we break down the barrier between 1 bid leagues and potential at large stealing 1 bid leagues.  The Lumberjacks have been a force in the Southland the last couple of years compiling a 35-1 conference record.  This year looks to be about the same as they return 4 starters from last year’s tournament team that almost sprung an upset over Utah.  I expect another gaudy record within the conference and a chance at a solid RPI with games against Baylor, Arizona State, and Northern Iowa in the non-conference slate.  32-4 is probably the target and if the conference can produce 1-2 solid other teams they may be able to squeak out an at-large if needed.
