Overrated:
UConn. Big time. Yeah they have a good first year player...but they will miss the guys they lost more than he will add.
Duke. Yes...at least for now. Losing Smith, Singler and Irving (but especially Smith and Singler) will be tough to overcome. By the end of the year, we'll be dangerous...but for now, I would probably put us around #18 or so.
Kentucky. I think they are good...but they should not be #2. That should go to Ohio State. Nor should they be #3 (Vandy), or #4, or #5.
Arizona. Losing Williams is huge. They shouldn't be ranked.
Underrated:
Vandy. (see above)
Baylor. Calling this right now - they'll be undefeated on Dec 23rd when they play at W. Virginia, and if they win that they'll be undefeated on Jan 2nd until they play Texas A&M. If they win that, they could be ranked #1. It won't last...but this is a good team.
Memphis - another dangerous team, and they play a pretty easy schedule. This is a #1 seed or #2 seed at worst.
Cincinnati - good team with top 4 scorers back.
OK, tear it to shreds.
By the way - SO PUMPED THAT BASKETBALL IS BACK (as is my 8 year old son who reminded me no more than a dozen times today to tape the Duke game...though he still is confused that we live in Belmont, MA and are playing Belmont...only it's not Belmont, Ma)
