We have two featured conferences this week! The first is the Atlantic Ten, who we relegated down to Under the Radar for the rest of the year. I was not in favor of this move, but when I filled out my UTR Top Ten and no Atlantic Ten teams were in it, it began to make sense. Fordham and Duquesne continue to play well, Dayton is improving, and Saint Louis has some notable wins and might be able to get within reach of the bubble if they can blow through the league.
We also highlight the Ohio Valley due to Eastern Illinois’s huge upset win at Iowa. The two teams were over 300+ spots apart in all the metrics, making it the biggest upset on paper that we can ever remember.
From there we run through all the other UTR leagues and talk about the strength at the top of the Colonial with Charleston continuing to win, Kent State from the MAC who has a big week and may be good enough to make a run at the bubble if they can dominate the conference, the strength and depth of the Sun Belt with Louisiana, Southern Miss, and Marshall all looking really good, UC Santa Barbara looking really good out of the Big West, and more. And, as we do every week, we close with this week’s UTR Top Ten.
And for all you radio lovers, below is an audio only version of the show…
