Teams we got right and wrong pre season

You might be right on UConn, but I think Bama will still be in top 10 come Monday.
I posted a couple weeks ago that I thought Creighton and Arizona were underrated. Boy, did I call it or what? Of course Creighton has an injury at point guard and it’s a long season and both teams can improve but still…
Why would anyone rely on john calipari? Arkansas is exactly where I thought they would be. I was wrong on uconn
It's Dec 1. I'd be skeptical, and leery of criticism for any team...or hype.
except for IU. Same can of soup in Bloomington

Similar to what Borden was saying, there’s always teams that look great in November but fall off. There’s also teams that look average and then turn it on during conference play.
Wisconsin looks like a top 25 team. I didn't have them in my top 50. John Tonje is playing like a 1st Team All-American right now.
I predicted that Duke would lose and move up 2 spots in the rankings.
I’m not overly trying to be critical of them, but they’re media has them final four bound already.
Their fans seem pretty quiet, but fidgety like a loud noise could send them off on a stampede.
It’s looking like I might’ve been right about UConn. Couldn’t fathom why that was considered a top 3 roster.
Seen any UConn fans on here lately, btw? Bet it’s coincidental, like that time they disappeared for 8 years.

What was so funny? The 2nd week of the season you played against a freshmen led team, that team led most of the game until one of their freshmen turned it over a couple of times in the final minute. You haven’t played against any other team to gauge how good you guys might be. Kenpom has Kentucky with the 266th toughest schedule so far.

Because the metrics take competition into account and anyone that thinks UK's offense isn't legit, doesn't know what they're looking at.
They could go 0-2 this week, but there aren't too many teams that would go 2-0 with these 2 road games.
Nobody is going 40-0 and most likely, the team that wins it all this year, will have lost games they shouldn't have.
The ranks of the undefeated are be thinned, that is for sure.
On Broome? Noooo.
This man says, excuse me...
Bama plays a different style, they'll double team him in the paint most likely.
I genuinely thought Syracuse was going to shock the world. Jaquan Carlos was going to be Tyler Ennis, Freeman All-ACC and Chris Bell a deadeye. This might be the worst team I’ve ever seen.
You won't see him for a while, Auburn lost last night. If Auburn won, he'd be camped out in here.
This reality has forced me to throw all my charts and prognostications out the window. It is nice to breathe the clean air out from under the shadow of DePaul, though.
I saw about 15 min of Pen St last night and they may be a fair bit better than the 17th they were picked in the BIG. Their starting five passes the eye test and they got after it on defense, overwhelming purdue's back court who looked lost without Edey and his 46 fouls and 25 FTs.
