We're strong at the top with Pitt, who can play with anyone. However, their wins aren't going to look as impressive as UF or UNC because of their style. But they're right there with them. After that, we have a mess of teams such as Syracuse, Georgetown, Marquette, UConn, Villanova, Louisville and I was hoping maybe DePaul (maybe not) that could all fall between 15-30 in the nation. At the bottom, we're weak, no doubt. The Big East doesn't appear to be as strong, but who knows, it's still real early. I still think we're an 8-bid legaue with a National Championship contender. That sounds good, but the bottom may kill our RPI this year. It’ll be interesting to see exactly how “we” stack up this year. We’re strong at the top with Pitt, who can play with anyone.
