My guess is the only way we lose to anyone in November is if there's a major breakdown -- injury, sickness, some external crisis. But if we just progress normally through this month, I can't really see us getting knocked off our stride.

I know, NC St and Duke are real teams, but I can't see either of them having put their teams together enough yet to deal with the advantage in talent we'll have over them. The same goes for Iowa, if we chance to meet them in November, too. I love Lisa Bluder's teams, but she has essentially the same squad as last year, and we are significantly improved... and they couldn't have competed with us last November either.

Once December comes around, we will begin to encounter more serious teams who will also have found their stride. Notre Dame, Princeton, MD, even Tennessee (assuming Horston's healthy), these will be real challenges. Even Creighton and Villanova. And come February, SC will be the most interesting game of the season before the tournament.

But I'm not worried about November.
