[Russ Smith]

Has UA #8, UCLA 11, UW 19th.

Florida ##1, surprises to me were Wisconsin at 9 and Texas A&M at 10.

Won't seem to let me cut and paste so here's the link to it

I like Texas AtM as a possible Top 10 team. Gillispie is quickly establishing himself as an terrific coach who's ready to make the jump to a big-time program (i.e. Kentucky when Tubby gets canned after this year). KLike the rest of the Big-10, Wisonsin was not that good last year as a mediocre Arizona team ran them out of the gym in the Tourney 3,000 miles from Tucson. But I suppose they will have a good record as other than Ohio State there's nobody in that conference who will be good.

I could see any of the three Pac-10 teams winning that conference, but after them there will be a huge drop in talent as UW, Arizona, and UCLA all are legitimate Final Four threats. Every team not named Wazzu and OSU could finish as high as fourth in the conference but coming up short for the Tourney.

Mao - How much will UA lose in the off season. Who will go pro?

Hassan goes to the NBA, Rodgers goes to the NBDL, and Isiah Fox goes to Dunkin' Donuts.

All are addition by subtraction.
