Last year we had a thread for Mid-Major Top 25 because Vermont was on the list a good bit of the season.

This isn't the "official" list, but it's all I could find right now.

They also have a preseason All-American team...Voelkel is the lone AEast rep on the team

I wasn't expecting them to be in Top 25 pre-season, but I'm honestly shocked Vermont didn't even receive at least 1 vote, especially since this list looks like it heavily weighed how teams finished in 11-12.

Nice to see Voelkel get recognized.

Illinois State, where Trey Blue played, is #8. I wonder how he feels about these ratings.

I agree...I had to read through that list of "others receiving votes" at least 3 times before posting as I didn't want to miss Vermont and thought for sure they would have gotten at least a vote as well.
