I am a homer as much as anyone, but..... no way. Not yet. Can they get there? Sure, but they have to play some defense first and the 4 freshman seeing a lot of time need to learn the system.

 

[TheDude1]

Uh, I assume this is fanfic?

 

[SpartyRBS]

I’m a self admitted Michigan hater so take this with a “grain of salt”, but UM has scored 63 vs Norfolk State and 56 vs Holy Cross. Having them at #4 is strange.

Villanova is going to do bad things to UM. UM lost it’s top 3 scorers from last year and this early in the season they’re struggling to figure out offensive roles.

 

[Matt Laurer]

Top 5 should be

1. Kansas
2. Nova
3. Duke
4. Virginia
5. UNC

Was expecting (hoping) to see Kentucky in the dropped out section. You just know some of the UK fans here or that migrate here from Rafters would lose it. A trolling opportunity severely lost.

Dropped Out: #24 TCU, #25 Houston

Is there a more anticipated thread than next week's Flux Poll? Does he drop Nova and if so, how far? Does Michigan climb from #4 to #1 based on the big win on the road, something #1 Duke can never say November.

Gotta love fluoxetine’s weekly rankings lol

I actually do and it's crazy how he pretty much nails it by the end of the year.

Beginning of the year everyone's like...well this thread..."your so crazy", but when you watch his weekly rankings progress, he's pretty spot on.

Charles Matthews (2nd leading scorer last year) left?

I swear I just watched him score 19 in a win over Villanova last night.

I really strongly disagree with the Penn State pick. Lost Carr, and they weren’t even great with him. THey would get crushed by Nevada/Syracuse/Kansas St

I'd like to see examples of this.

Regardless...do you think Nova is anywhere near #1 right now?

That alone pretty much kills it.

Dude, Texas is not top 25 worthy.
