EDIT: If anyone does not see a team they want to know about on this list, I can happily post what they pick them for because they also pick the NIT and the 1st round.

Athlon does a great job usually. This time is no different. I just can't see NC State advancing further than Texas, Maryland, and Wisconsin.

Ha...I'd be happy with that. ISU has a way of surprising everyone. I would more likely have ISU 6th or 7th and on the bubble like they were last year.

 

 

That being said, I'm glad ISU is ahead of Mizzou. f***in' Tigers. Evidently they think the Football North teams are gonna blow major balls and KU will beat up on them. Not gonna argue with that, but I'm surprised ISU is 2nd out of the Football North teams.

The top of the Big Ten looks about right to me except I think they have Michigan too high, unless they got some big time guys that I don't know about.

I think IU and UM will be swapped.

Kansas' glory days are over with Self at the helm. Oh god, I cant even remember how many games he cost us. He is a TERRIBLE X's and O's coach. Of course, he can recruit but thats about it.

He can recruit, but he can't win the big game. Remember after he left Tulsa, he has never beaten a higher ranked seed in the NCAA tourney.

Shuf, you are so biased it isnt even funny. Kansas will choke this year.

To prove the point that Self cant coach, go watch the ND-ILL game from the 03 tourny. Oh God, you will laugh with tears at him. It was so pathetic. They absolutly owned us the whole game and BS never made 1 adjustment to our defense the whole time! Not 1!

It's quite humorous how a young team in Boston College who could've/would've/should've upset Georgia Tech last year in the tournament gets a year under there belt yet isn't even considered for the tournament or even NIT.

 

What does Athlon have about Boston College? I'd be quite curious to know.

They have BC 1 and done, 6th in the Big East.
