The second week of the college basketball season featured plenty of action among top mid-major basketball teams, with most avoiding upsets. Highlights included Loyola’s impressive win over Princeton in our Game of the Week.
While college football follows a clear structure with automatic-qualifying and non-qualifying conferences for the College Football Playoff, the term “mid-major” in basketball is more subjective. For clarity and consistency, MidMajorBasketball.com defines mid-majors as teams from conferences outside the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and Big East.
