* Very interesting in my opinion I thought Kentucky would have been a little higher somewhere around 10th I would've thought. I think Mich. St. may be a little high in my opinion.

I don't know much of anything about anyone this year.  I wonder how much UCONN lost, because they were dominant during March.

They lost some players but I believe they had nice gains too if I remember right. Hurley and company is going to remain tough to beat in my opinion. 
 

I also believe the Big East is going to be very tough as a conference. My guess is maybe toughest overall, no lower than second best if that low.

I know this is preseason rankings, but I like seeing FAU where they are. Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them make noise again.

They should I believe they brought back their whole team that made the final four last year.

I think it’s more the voters over ranked UK the last few years. So now the voters are being a little bit more cautious with UK this time around. I think it’s a pretty fair spot for them for now, until they can go out and prove they are a top team this year. Which I think they will be as long as they stay healthy for once. 

Michigan State is perennially over ranked in the pre season.

I am curious to see the positive impact on North Carolina and the negative impact on Arizona with Caleb Love transferring.

UK is very undervalued in this poll.  Especially being behind 3 other SEC teams.

I think we just need to put a black permanent marker through Purdue and call it a day.
