Lamar was picked to finish 7th in the preseason poll. Kind of surprising since the only had 1 representative on the preseason All-SLC teams. Everyone except Lamar and Northwestern State had multiple selections. The poll reveals that voters see a big drop off from the top 6 teams to the bottom 5.

 

Team (first place votes) - Points

1.) Sam Houston St. (20) - 200

2.) Central Arkansas (2) - 177

3.) McNeese St. - 163

4.) Southeastern Louisiana - 136

5.) Nicholls St. - 133

6.) Stephen F. Austin - 114

7.) Lamar - 68

8.) Abilene Christian - 66

9.) Houston Baptist - 56

10.) Northwestern St. - 49

11.) Incarnate Word - 48

Fortunately preseason poles mean nothing. But they do give the bottom targets to shoot for.

If the old staff was still here, I would probably agree with the poll, however this ain't the old crew.
