The top three in the conference are all in the new East division (surprise me not)...but who's number four?

There's been a lot of additions in the last two weeks...but none for Indiana *sniff*. The biggest news, though, is that half of the future conference has an average recruiting ranking in the top 30 nationwide.
The fourth traditional powerhouse of the conference (and sole member of the West), Nebraska, is still sitting pretty low in the recruiting rankings, though it's still early. And, holy hell, Northwestern! Nerdiness is becoming an asset, I guess.
