1. Kansas
2. Michigan St.

Michigan should probably be in there instead of Duke, but I'm not real confident in them being consistent enough

no way Kentucky is better than anyone in your top 8.

My final four are my top 4

Yeah, Duke looks like they can range anywhere from fringe top 10 to pretty awful. Judging by their trend over the last few years I am leaning towards the later. I put Michigan in for the opposite reason.

They might not be now, but I feel confident that they will be in the Final Four. I did the same though, my Final Four are my top four.

Edit: We will get to find out if they are better than North Carolina pretty early this year though.

They may very well be, but just too many questions right now to rank them that high. They are talented enough to be a sure fire top 15 though

You guys have Tennessee way too low. Should be Top 5.

Interesting opinion. Tennessee has one of those teams that if everything were to go right, they could be a top 5-8 type of team. Everything rarely goes right though.

I like them considering the relative strength of the PAC-10. However, I had to bump them down a few spots.

unfortuently unlike football an easy conference schedule can only help your final ranking so much. i wouldn't be surprised in the slightest to see us ranked in the top-10 only to flame out in the first weekend of the tourney. that is unless our jc center recruit really is the real deal. if so look out.

notable non conferences games (should give us a good idea if cal is for real):

North Carolina, Ohio State (coaches vs cancer)
at kansas

If Cal can win 1 out of 3 and be competitive in the others, they will certainly be on the right track

Wanted to take a look at this and see how it is playing out for me. I obviously missed big time on North Carolina, Cal, and Michigan. UConn, Butler, and Ohio State (who is now in a lot better shape with Turner back) are also a bit lower than I thought they would be. My top five is looking extremely solid. All things considered, this doesn't look too shabby.
