Happy Halloween 🎃: Our best-of-the-rest deep dive highlights dozens of standout teams and Cinderella candidates from mid-major conferences

We're wrapping our conference-preview portion of the preseason with a wide scan of all the best teams from outside the seven major conferences. Obviously, Gonzaga is the big (bull)dog, but there are two other preseason top 25-level teams worth knowing about: San Diego State and Dayton. Norlander and Parrish go well beyond those three, though, highlighting the teams with viable at-large hopes and laying out nearly 20 other mid-majors poised to have good seasons in '22-23. The bonus: we've got a this-or-that Halloween candy-themed segment to wrap today's episode.
