The Bulldogs and their fans will rank very high nationally in that category.  With UNI's problems, I don't think we'll finish dead last.  And I hope that last comment doesn't mess up he karma.  &lt;img align="absmiddle" src="http://www.drakenation.com/Skins/DrakeNation/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile"&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Nov 2008 15:49:29 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Grandpa</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Athlon Preview</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic27696-8-1.aspx</link><description>-&lt;a href="http://www.collegesports-fans.com/basketball-previews/2008-2009-previews/drake-bulldogs-preview.html" target="_blank" class="SmlLinks"&gt;at least this guy tries .. worst preview I've seen yet linkage&lt;/a&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:36:13 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Mc Bulldog</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Athlon Preview</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic27696-8-1.aspx</link><description>Another good one -&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://northwesternwins.wordpress.com/2008/10/11/missouri-valley-preview/" target="_blank" class="SmlLinks"&gt;from a Northwestern fan link&lt;/a&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:31:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Mc Bulldog</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Athlon Preview</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic27696-8-1.aspx</link><description>Here is another MVC preveiw that has Drake picked 3rd. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nesn.com/content/college/story.aspx?content_id=dd7557b4-742e-458e-b9ff-05614a658eb8" target="_blank" class="SmlLinks"&gt;NESN University College Sports Linkage&lt;/a&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 08 Nov 2008 14:26:52 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Mc Bulldog</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Athlon Preview</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic27696-8-1.aspx</link><description>Did we already have this linked somewhere?

SIU and Ill. State are over-rated.  Bradley is under-rated, I'm afraid.  Some of them guys can play, as long as they're eligible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let 'em put the Bulldogs down the list.  Something to prove again.&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:05:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>cgdcreek</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Athlon Preview</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic27696-8-1.aspx</link><description>He obviously didn't read the State of Iowa 08 rankings.

He doesn't give any analysis on his blog ("you will have to buy the magazine to get the whys."  Prack) but he gives his predicted ranking:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;   1. Creighton&lt;br&gt;   2.
