Nope. UConn is in that first group and St. John's is #1 in the most recent top 25 early ranking poll.

Agree. I would question Florida ahead of both UConn and St. John's. Losing a kid like Clayton who hit every big shot will hurt them considerably. Boggie Fland is certainly a good player but he still has to show much more consistency. PG from Princeton while likely good is making a huge jump in level on a night in night out basis. To me Florida was a guard oriented team last year with 3 seniors back there. Tough to replace that experience. I think UConn and St. John's at least early on are clearly better teams.
 
Purdue has the best point guard in country who most likely will break NCAA all time assist record. This very well could be Painter's year to break through. Final Four in Indy would make it special.

They had arguably one of the best front courts in the country, versatile and killed teams on glass. Golden is also a great coach and turned two mid major guards into key dudes. Yes Clayton was a massive loss but I’d expect them to run the same system through their bigs and be right there. Fland can ball.

But the front court didn't carry the scoring load like the backcourt did. Frankly, UConn's front court outplayed them. Not saying they aren't going to be good, but I think UConn has the better team right now.

For someone who spends so much time on this board RuffRuff does seem to miss a lot. Which isn't a big deal but it is interesting considering he has strong opinions on everything.

Barely been on this thing of late. I need a break from you chuckleheads.

Yes most years there are no unbeatable teams - I’d argue two years ago we and Purdue stood out and made it to finals as scratch teams. And last year it was entirely scratch. So it’s moving to a point where there are teams well above the cut in the NIL era. This upcoming year does feel a bit more open than the last two years.

As for Florida, I too think they’re a guard short. I’m just saying their front court was a major reason they were as good as they were, you can’t overindex on one game against us, especially for a team that won the title, lol. The blinders are strong here Luke.

Assuming the new revenue sharing model finally gets approved, this is the last year of the current pay for play NIL model. It will be interesting to see how the new model impacts the competitiveness of teams in college basketball.

Depends on the oversight of total revenue being "shared" with the players, both the total amount and how it's allocated among the various aports.
