Experienced guards.
Plus with Mark they are a lot deeper. Mark is a solid player. Knew of him since he was 13-14. He is from Dickinson HS.
But Jarreau. .
Guy is a pitbull...
Has played a lot of basketball

Well we have work to do. Houston’s energy was so much better than ours for the first thirty minutes. They’re legit. Glad we fought back, but long way to go. Too many options on offense to not score 65+ every game.
Boise State beat Sam Houston by 30 as well...
SFA is legit and maybe 1 or 2 other Southland Conference schools.
But beating them by lopsided scores is the norm

One of those transfers already quit the program at Tech
Reason why I never put that much merit in stats from one school transferring to another

this aged well.
Like I said in the beginning.
I cannot rank 350+ schools.
I can tell you about the Big 12.
Basketball is a game you have to watch. No one can watch that much basketball
Just shut the fvck up
Just the truth...
Don't get triggered by facts.
OP should have paid attention to the preseason conference rankings over the National guys
Because those are the guys who follow the conference. National guys can't follow everyone correctly.
If you make the same mistake every year you never get better
Good lord @SheriffBufordTJustice, the OP said the following:
"Here it is, gents. My wildly inaccurate top 50"
Someone is taking this way too seriously

What is wrong with trying to make things better...
You acknowledge your errors and improve.
If you do anything in life you want to get better.
Don't know why some of you get so upset by this.
I pointed out his errors in the Big 12 prior to the season because I was familiar with what most likely was going to occur
He's the biggest know it all fvckhead on the board.
Because everyone knows that preseason rankings are impossible to get right, but they are fun fodder for conversation. And @dukedevilz is one of the most liked and respected posters on this board. It doesn't have to be a situation where you take an affront to what the rankings are, it would basically be the same thing with getting upset at someone's bracket before a single game is played, hardly anyone gets it all right.
Like I said there is nothing wrong with improvement.
Some of you are weak. Hate to tell you that.
Strengthen your minds.
This isn't attacking the man. It is helping him out. I told him before the season that he should have paid attention to the preseason poll from the Big 12 coaches.
Weakness can also be construed as positioning yourself as a know it all on a subject that is impossible to know everything about. You may want to re-evaluate some things about yourself
I imagine you have zero friends and you're probably divorced. Just a gut feeling that you've run everybody off in your life.
But that doesn't mean you cannot improve....
No one can be a perfect person but doesn't mean that you don't strive to improve ourselves
That's not what we are saying, clearly its fine to improve things that are meaningful and worthwhile to improve. This is not one of those things, because the variables are too numerous to get right. Even an AI model will not exist anytime soon to get rankings exactly right because no model has the capacity to foresee injuries, suspensions, mental health issues, guys fighting on the bench and letting the other team come back from 15 points down, whatever you can think of
So why not see where some errors are made and improve on those...
I get it you want to protect OP. But in no way is this a personal attack on him.
For you to result in personal attacks it makes people wonder about your mental state
I'm really not trying to protect anyone, I'm just saying it isn't worth arguing about. Do you have any constructive pointers besides "listen to the guys that cover the conferences"? Because even this year, that wouldn't have worked for the following Blue bloods:
ALL of them
What a coincidence because I'm wondering about your mental state calling out somebody's preseason top 50 list. A guy who does it for fun and put's it out for the board.
Don't pay attention to other conferences besides the Big 12.
Don't know what was being said about the other conferences
It was well known Kentucky wasn't going to be elite though.
No one is calling out anyone....
This is why you are weak minded.
You take criticism as an attack. Need to grow up.
See that's weak because you don't have any improvements or errors to point out, and really there aren't any. You can look at recruiting rankings, returning production, schedule, and that's about it. BPI is awful, and that's basically a algorithm that looks at those figures along with stats once you are in the season. It doesn't work, and it won't ever work, because it doesn't identify how some teams that are generally average are bad matchups for better teams, so they create a data population that gets screwyer and screwyer. It's the best part about college sports, especially basketball. We crave the upset when it isn't our team. We need the upsets or it gets boring. Just enjoy it man
