Way too early UConn 2018-2029 poll.

I believe by definition one is midmajor if one is not P5. So, UConn is and has been midmajor with or without Ollie as long as the AAC is G5 and UConn is not a member of the P5. However, 0ne can be midmajor and advance in the NCAA basketball tournament, so there is a bright side.

Strongly disagree. They do mid-major polls all the time and the American and Gonzaga are always excluded, because they're not mid-major.

I like all the changes but people forget that we are always very excited this time of year.
I checked back on a similar thread from last year and the predictions were about the same.

Slightly lower for me but two years of losing seasons will do that.

I'd be able to stomach option 2 "beating the mid majors, and stop losing by 20" but am hoping for option 3 "20 wins". It'd give him some legs to stand on for future recruiting cycles. Anything else is just gravy in my opinion.

Nobody in the Big East is considered a mid major, and they aren't P5. Likewise, anyone in the AAC. The American is even ahead of the PAC12 when it comes to basketball.

We need to finish top 3 in the AAC regular season this year, and every year. We need to beat the teams we are supposed to, avoid OT against Monmouth, win a few of our out-of-conference games (beat the Oregon/Arizona/maybe Cuse's, and take losses to Nova/Shockers/some other comparable or tough program). Play on Sunday in the AAC tourney, and get back to the dance.

11 years is a long season.
