Thanks Stever! I always enjoy this list…..

What also makes me happy is seeing these former Big East schools with low rankings….

Notre Dame - #142
Louisville - #131
Pitt - #117
Syracuse - #110

Syracuse and Notre Dame will be really interesting to see how they do with new coaches. Louisville 131 would be a huge improvement really. Pitt only at 117 would seem to be a major disappointment after last year.

#104 is up now.

So far got 8 NCAA tourney teams in. So 60 to go plus 32 NIT teams(though obviously this doesn't account for NIT bid thieves).

It's kind of amusing to see them try to project CBI teams... lol

I guess DePaul was left out as usual, and we'll see Georgetown soon. Torvik has them at #149.

Weber St shows up at 103.

I'm going to update my 1st post to do a summary of all the teams in so far and what's left.

[stever20]

Iona w/o Pitino shows up at 102.

Yeah, Georgetown at 101.

It's so sad seeing that and knowing that's a huge upgrade. Hopefully can be about 25 spots higher and in NIT contention this year.

Ideally 75 or better for everyone. While it's unlikely, I think it's more doable this season with so many teams projected to be good. It's tough for even the bottom dweller to not end up with decent NET if most teams enter conference play highly ranked. Well, that's assuming there is no repeat of all-time bad Ewing seasons.
