A lot of these rankings seem off.
Cincy's ranking is surprisingly high, and Houston's seems too low. Both teams have reloaded, but Cincy has a new HC and had to replace more players, so it may take some time for all the pieces to fit together. Most rankings seem to have Houston ahead of Cincy.
The AAC's 10th ranked team here is #117, suggesting something close to parity with the 10 teams in the BE if this is at all accurate.
Teams including Wichita, USF, Temple, UConn, and perhaps SMU, could all split their series' and finish in almost any order.
UConn being ranked ahead of USF doesn't seem right, given that both Jerry Palm and Joe Lunardi have had USF, but not UConn in their bracketologies.
People forget that UConn didn't even make it into the CBI, much less the NIT last season, so their returning unit isn't strong. Yes, they have very talented freshmen, but no guarantee that those freshmen will master the college game in one season.
