Let's see if this thread gains some traction or falls flat...
Maybe because I live on the West Coast, but over the last 5-6 years I've become a fan of the West Coast Conference. Top to bottom, it's not as strong as the MVC but with Gonzaga, St. Mary's, and now BYU, it's got some real good teams at the top. Ever since the MVC/MWC Challenge came to a close, I've thought the WCC would be a good substitute for a yearly challenge. Here's the WCC preview from CBS Sports...

No surprise that Gonzaga is picked as the favorite, with St. Mary's second and BYU up there too. Tyler Haws of BYU could lead the nation in scoring this year and St. Mary's has some high-major transfers to accompany some returning seniors. And the preview says that Gonzaga may have the most talented team that Mark Few has seen, which is a pretty bold statement. ANYWAY, until CBS Sports releases the MVC preview, I'll keep an eye on their previews of some other mid-major conferences.
