Top 13 Conferences by Gary Parrish

Here is Yahoo's conference rankings. This is more realistic IMO for the MVC this year.

I disagree. I don't think the Valley has taken a step back, as many of the national writers are suggesting. I think we might see a different style out of some teams, but I don't think the quality of the play top to bottom will be any worse.

I expect the conference to achieve at the same level as in years past. And in the future, I expect the league to continue to grow, and push the BCS Leagues.

With all the new (quality) coaches in the league, and having Wichita State, Creighton, and SIU setting the bar high, I think this league will continue to flourish.
