Following yesterday's "High-Major"
ranking, today's "Mid-Major" list contains what I consider to be the usual 13th
through 17th ranked conferences: Big West, Horizon, MAC, Sun Belt, and WCC. Of
course, some years there are other leagues that squeak into the Top 17, but only
once since 2000 (Ivy in 2002) has a league not included in my rankings finished
in the top 16 RPI.
