Hard to make projections with the number of injuries the top 10 have suffered. If everyone is healthy, UCLA, Notre Dame, Miami and Marquette are overrated. Florida and Wake Forest are underrated.

USC is a funny case. They are about where I would put them in a preseason poll, but that's because I think they'll either be considerably higher or lower. Kind of adding #6 and #30 together and taking the average. Their season will be greatly influenced by the decision on Alex Stepheson's request for immediate eligibility. You didn't miss the interview. I'm letting the football firestorm die down a little before I run it.

Thanks for the info!

I know they re-load, but didn't UCLA lose a ton of talent from last year's team?

yes, period.

Howland's fantastic and they'll still play mean D, but they aren't a top 5 basketball team. Collison's a stud, but Rose made him look flat out pathetic last year.

If healthy, UNC is downright loaded. I'm not sure any other team has as much talent. Problem for them is that expectations are NC or failure.

When I first heard our sched. I thought looked really tough with Kansas, Memphis, Marquette, Zaga + SEC + preseason and postseason tournies. What I didn't anticipate is that Gonzaga would be the highest ranked team preseason.

I also have to acknowledge that my beloved Davidson Wildcats are overrated. Jason Richards meant too much to the team.

I think alot of people put us high, as noticeable by the stark difference in points from us on down. Generally, there isn't a huge gap in point totals, but a 300 point split in votes from 14-15 is huge, in my opinion.

That's the thing about Howland - odds are no other team will play better D, but the odds are almost as high few other teams play worse O. I mean, it's painful to watch them when they have the ball.

Also, Rose did that to most people he played against last year, save the Vols.

if Duke and their continued absence of a rebounding presence can land a top ten ranking it means two things: UCLA is a top five team and this season might be quite boring and painful to watch.

Dook would be a preseason top 10 even if the whole team left and a bomb leveled Durham :)
