With a non-league performance that mostly exceeded — admittedly painfully low — expectations now complete, it's a good time to take a look at some of the Horizon League players who have stood out so far. I have thought about doing this for years, so go figure the year I'm finally able to put it together is the year where a school left and most of the remaining schools completely flipped over their rosters. This isn't in any way a prediction, as I think things could change dramatically when injuries heal and roles are established. Obviously, All-League is also heavily dependent on how teams finish in league play. This is more about where things stand right now when it comes to All-League-worthy performers in the Horizon League. Barring injury, many of the players near the top of the list are well on their way to postseason accolades, but as you drop further down the list things become a lot more fluid.

A light slate of games put several teams in the position where it was hard to punish them for losses because they were obviously overmatched, and at the same time hard to reward the many wins that came against non-Division I opponents. There were a limited number of games where a likely result was going to cause movement in the rankings, and yet there was a pretty substantial amount of movement in the rankings. In my eyes, there's not a lot separating just about the entire league. Here's a look at how this week shook out:
