Reposting this little aggregate table on Horizon predictions here at the bottom of the thread. Basically, a team gets 10 points for first, 9 for second, etc. down to one point for a last place prediction. Where a publication did not predict the entire standings, I gave all the unranked teams 0 points, and then the last ranked team 1 point, next to last ranked team 2 points, etc. Poll/Team | Valpo | OU | Mil. | UD | WSU | GB | CSU | UIC | YSU | NKU | Horizon League Poll | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | Blue Ribbon | 10 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 | Athlon | 10 | 9 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 8 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 1 | Lindys | 10 | 9 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 1 | ESPN | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 2 | Ken Pomeroy | 10 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 8 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | NBC Sports | 10 | 9 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 | Sporting News | 9 | 10 | 7 | 8 | 4 | 6 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 | CBS Sports | 10 | 9 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | USA Today | 10 | 8 | 9 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | Catch & Shoot | 10 | 9 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 | 1 | High Def Hoops | 10 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 | 3 | Starting @ Floorboards | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 1 | 2 | Sports Illustrated | 10 | 9 | 6 | 8 | 5 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 3 | Sagarin | 10 | 9 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 8 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 | RPI Forecast | 10 | 9 | 7 | 6 | 4 | 8 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 1 | Team Rankings | 10 | 7 | 4 | 8 | 6 | 9 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Sports Madness | 3 | 2 | 1 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | Total | 172 | 149 | 126 | 113 | 96 | 107 | 70 | 46 | 33 | 29 |

ESPN doesn't say much about the teams in the conference, other than Valpo to win, Oakland and Milwaukee as "sleepers." They do predict an all-conference team of: Kahlil Felder, Oakland Paris Bass, Detroit Alec Peters, Valparaiso Matt Tiby, Milwaukee Vashil Fernandez, Valparaiso

Once again, I am shut out of the main forum so I say hello via this one. I will be making my annual pilgrimage to the Motor City this year to attend the Youngstown and Cleveland games on Jan 2 and 5. Hope to be able to see some of you and perhaps a visit to Tom's Tavern may be in the works.
Looking forward to this year's Titan edition.
