"Over the seven seasons I've produced preseason ratings, my thinking on the purpose of them has evolved from trying to project end of season ratings to trying to predict how good a team is right now."

I don't buy 12 ACC teams being better than us.

I agree. Start of season till the newcomers acclimate perhaps. But Moses/ Hannahs alone makes this team competitive against most.

Experts are saying they might get 10 teams in the tournament

I could see that.

[Letsroll1200]

I could see that.

Yes the media is in love with the ACC

[SpeedyHog]

I could see that.

I hope not.

I thought something that stood out is UTA.  Could be the sneaky interesting game from a mid major.

There may be. Dang, the ACC is a powerhouse for basketball.

B1G and ACC 9 of kenpom's top 20. 

Texas 8th out of the B12 teams.  Ok St 9th.

Minn 11th in the B1G but a respectable 71st overall.

When you go down the list they certainly have a lot of good programs.

I just think we make the ncaat and maybe they get 8-10 and certainly not 12 with all of them being higher than us.

Wonder if one could bet on that?

[Biggus Piggus]

They have no way of knowing how good Arkansas might be. So many newcomers. No way to value them. They can guess about a team like Kentucky with a 5-star recruiting class. Not Arkansas.

Those 8-10 seeds are brutal. Want to avoid them.

Nothing new under the sun.
