Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2904126, member: 6927"] I agree about the question marks. It feels like every good team except Notre Dame and Oregon took major hits to graduation. I actually think Maryland may do even better than #9 this year, and will again be the clearly dominant team in the Big Ten. Lots of talented pieces to work with (plus, so many other of the strong teams from last year are in rebuilding mode). Breaking down ESPN's rankings by conference: [LIST] [*]ACC (5): Notre Dame (1), Louisville (4), NC State (18), Syracuse (21), Duke (22). [*]Pac-12 (5): Oregon (3), Oregon St (7), Stanford (8), Arizona St (23), Cal (25). [*]SEC (5): Mississippi St (6), Tennessee (10), South Carolina (11), Georgia (13), Missouri (16). [*]Big 12 (3): Baylor (5), Texas (12), West Virginia (20). [*]AAC (2): UConn (2), South Florida (19). [*]Big Ten (2): Maryland (9), Iowa (17). [*]Big East (2): DePaul (14), Marquette (15). [*]MAC (1): Central Michigan (24). [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
