The season isn't too far away and most of us don't have the time to look up what teams are favored in each conference. I thought it would be a good idea to centralize all the polls.

Thanks for starting this, Greek.  This helps with the Top 25 stuff too.

It would also be interesting to look back later in the season just to see how things are turning out and the end result.

I went through all the leagues when I started this thread. No new polls. Obviously I'll continue to go through them as the days pass. Hopefully if "your" league posts their preseason poll, you'll post it for me. Thanks in advance!

Greek, if you have done this before, you may be aware that some conferences do not conduct a preseason poll...

I follow the preseason polls just as you do... here are the conferences that did not have a preseason poll last year:

ACAA  (I know, obvious)
CUNYAC
E8
NESCAC
NWC
SAA
SUNYAC

of course, that doesn't mean they won't have one this year ....CUNYAC, E8, NESCAC, SAA, and SUNYAC have not had one in each of the last 3 years...

out of curiosity, I went back and checked to see how each predicted poll champ last year did in the regular season conference standings...

Conference       Poll pick                     Actual Winner

AEC                Gwynedd                        Gwynedd Mercy**********

USAC W       Maryville                     Covenant  (Maryville finished 2nd)
WIAC          UW- Oshkosh                          UW-Oshkosh*******

So of 40 preseason polls last year, 20 correctly picked winners, 15 more had picks that finished 2nd or 3rd, 5 were way off the mark(ASC-West, MACF, MASCAC, OAC, SCAC)




The only thing not to be liked in Florida is no D3 hoops!!!

Thanks and good work. I do know there were a few leagues that don't release preseason polls, but didn't know off hand.
