Beyond that who knows. If Cumberland plays like he is capable and Broome keeps developing i like their chances.

Sorry Mark, I'm not writing off this season, who knows come tourney time ( injuries and things ), but I can only find 8 people that think they are Top 16. You, the six AP voters and Ken.

Ken doesn't think that... That's what his numbers come to. As do Sagarins. As does BPI. I guarantee if you bet games just based on on Sagarin and Kenpom you'd do far better than on the AP voters who watch a tiny fraction of the games played.

The AP and coaches poll are subject to a ton of noise throughout the season. They overreact to individual games or a couple of games. I'm willing to bet UC will be back in the top 16 of both polls at various times throughout the season.
