I say Legit:
Kentucky
UVA
Duke
Gonzaga
Overrated:
Wichita State
Wisconsin
Notre Dame
Maryland
Underrated:
Utah (Not because they're underranked but under talked about)
WVU
Gtown
Indiana
and Uconn of course

Maryland actually has a lot of talent on that team. Whether the coach can help them is another story.

Dodd, Layman, Wells, Trimble and Smotrycz is a very good collection talent. I don't know why so many players were run off, but if they still had some of the McDs they recruited, like Cleare, this team would be the most talented in the ACC.

Wichita State is incredibly overrated. They have 2 losses but also barely beat Alabama and Hawaii.

 

[Mr. Conehead]

Duke and Kentucky are the two best teams so far. If they meet the title game, don't ask who I am rooting for as I rather watch the latest man bashing movie on Lifetime than those two teams and, worse yet, listening to the folks from CBS and ESPN on their knees with their mouth's full of both program's glory.

If it was between watching these 2 or a Kevin Hart movie I think I may actually chose the game, but that would be the only thing to beat it out

If that's the list then #5 looks doable provided we avoid WVU and maybe Maryland. Lots of vanquished tourney foes on that list.

*B1G (might be 2nd best in the conference).

I wouldn't root for either team but it would likely be a very fun game to watch (on mute) if you ignore the sleaze associated with the fans and coaches.

Duke and Kentucky are very good. Arizona will be better as the year goes by. I think the rest are pretenders.
UCONN has a chance to be better, but they need three constant scorers each and every game. Hamilton can be the difference player like Nadav was in 89-90 season.

 

[ecasadoSBU]

curious to see what people think of nova? are they legit, or a bit on the overrated?

 

[Rocktheworld]

Pretty much the whole B1G is overrated. Maryland is looking to be Wisconsin's main threat to the title at the moment. They will be the only two ranked teams in the conference next Monday.

What is the baseline? The useless AP poll?

Most of the people posting here have been watching college basketball for a long time. The game has changed so quickly it is hard to have a frame of reference.

Virginia is the easiest example. 20, 15 or even 10 years ago there is no way that's the third ranked team in AP poll. In 2014 I can't come up with 3 teams to even argue against them.

If those two teams play for the title its an easy choice. Go Duke! I never want to see squid win another national title.

 

[Ha Who]

Notre Dame as usual

 

[mauconnfan]

Maryland is pretty good. They have nice experience and toughness. Actually they are better than I thought - agree on the Shockers, carrying their latest success into this year is helping with their rankings. Not a bad team but not nearly good enough to pull off 2-3 wins in the dance. Also think Wisconsin is very good just not UK, Duke, AZ good.

NCs and underrated bc of injuries, but not a contender right now

Did I skip any?

UL overrated
Nova fairly rated (no one actually expects them to be a contender right?)
Stanford underrated
Texas could be a contender if their PG comes back healthy and their assistant coaches can coach (and Barnes misses about six games in March with a stomach bug).
UNC - overrated
OSU - LOL seriously overrated.
