So @Rhavicc's prediction that VT will finish 3rd in the ACC got me thinking--what teams do I believe are at the top of each conference? With conference play about to kick into high gear, I figured we could all predict our top 3 for the regular season standings. I'm gonna do each of the power conferences, but feel free to do any conference(s) you want. Hopefully this will generate some good discussion.
ACC:
1. Miami (really favorable unbalanced schedule)
2. Duke
3. UVA
(Bonus, VT finishes t7)
Big 10:
1. Michigan State
2. Purdue
3. Who the eff knows? The pick out of the hat is Michigan
Big 12:
1. West Virginia ends the streak
2. Kansas
3. Oklahoma
Big East:
1. Villanova
2. Xavier
3. Creighton
Pac-12:
1. Arizona
2. Arizona State
3. A whole lot of crap. Let's say Oregon just because of how tough they are at home. But, yeesh...this is a bad bad league.
SEC:
1. Texas A&M
2. Kentucky
3. Tennessee
AAC (I wasn't going to do them, but I guess if I'm doing the Pac...):
1. Wichita State
2. Cincy
3. SMU
