I'm Beginning To Wonder....

[Ronman]

are there any truly superior teams this year? Some of the perennial greats look fairly vulnerable this season. I've seen most of the Top Twenty-Five so far and only a few have looked really good Houston and Virginia have been impressive, but so far, no team has emerged as the team to beat.

I agree, lots of parity across the country and within the B1G this year, which is a good thing.

Way to early to determine that, I would say you get a better judge of teams 1/4 way through conferance play.

Arizona and Creighton

Arizona and Creighton

Getting caught cheating really damaged the Wildcats!

No doubt and they are damn good. Complete team watched them all this week in Maui.

(unless its Iowa the one who is the alpha team in the nation...)

I love parity, especially between and among the high mid-majors & most of the P5 ranks.

Makes watching non-Iowa games a lot more enjoyable when you know a game is up for grabs instead of expecting one team to just dominate the competition, well in advance of when the game starts.

And I just watched Sean Miller coaching X.
He looked like he didn't miss his meal today.

The Razorbacks look pretty good too.

 

[Fan In Black]

The Razorbacks look pretty good too.

they could have 5 1st Rd NBA picks.

We would not match up well with AZ. they would hurt us inside and on the boards.

Not knowing who the best teams are to start the season is going to be the norm now because there's so much more turnover and change than before.

UNC is only a 5 point favorite against ISU? Less the the IA/Clemson line. odd...

UNC was overranked to start the year due to their NCAA tournament run from last year. They were a bubble team all of last year until they won @Duke. They just got hot right at the end. They're #19 on KenPom and Torvik and even that might be too high. They've played tight games with UNC-Willmington, Gardner Webb, and Portland to start the year and ISU is their first opponent with a pulse. Wouldn't be shocked at all if ISU wins this game against the "number 1" team in the country.

The Razorbacks will be even better when they add all the players they bought with NIL.

 

[BirdistheWord]

It was one game (KU vs Duke) but Duke looked fairly pedestrian, with the Northwestern transfer at their starting PF not really a typical Duke caliber player.

Yeah Carolina looks discombobulated so far this year. A ton of talent that isn’t playing together at all.

More of the great players are leaving after a year or two, so the usual top teams take a while to establish their identity, if they do. Unfortunately, by the end of the year, some of the blue bloods are still usually the ones competing for the championship.
