Interestingly, despite them being #60 the author has them in the NIT again. That's a bit of a head scratcher. I believe that is the first 2 of our 10 in with Providence at 60 and Seton Hall at 109. DePaul, I'm assuming, will not be on this list. It's also pretty clear that the list does not have up-to-date facts.

I'm not expecting it, but DePaul could surprise and finish higher than we expect. DePaul started out the season last year 9-3 and had wins over Providence, Rutgers, Auburn, and Arizona State. The old Big East schedule was so brutal that it made teams look worse than they were -even DePaul.
TheHall wrote:The predictions of the order the league finishes in indeed appears volatile, but not the perceived quality of the league. The BE solidly appears to be a 5-7 NCAA bid league in 2014 regardless of the order. Nova could actually finish 1st through 7th but they still are likely to be dancing in March regardless.
