With so many games, let keep this just to final scores. Similar rules apply. Laughable:

- Non-Power over Power Conferences
- Unranked over Ranked
- Division II over Division I
- A Vegas line getting blown out of the water (25 ... 30 or more points wrong)

Is that the Saint Francis from PA? I am going to the Dayton game vs. the one from PA and if that is the case, it is another game I should be concerned about already. I don't know if I can handle UC playing NCState and an upset minded and successful St. Francis game back to back days this early in the season. Where are my early season cupcakes this year?!

Saint Francis (NY)

Pretty confident Georgia Tech couldn't beat Utah St. . . Especially, in Logan, UT.

Ok this was preseason, but:

Cincinnati 77
Carleton 63

Carleton has won 9 of the last 11 Canadian national championships. This year in preseason, they went 10-2 vs NCAA D-1 opponents, beating St. Mary's and Wisconsin. Their only other loss was to Syracuse in overtime.

Utah State has won at least 20 games in each of the last 14 seasons. They're averaging about 25 wins a season over that period.

yeah usu makes the tourny on average every other year, and hasnt made the ncaa or nit just once in the last 10 years. no shame in losing to them

How do you define the power conferences in bball? For instance, wasn't the MW first or second in RPI last year? Would they count?

Conferences that will put more than just their conference champion into the NCAA Tournament on a regular basis.

American
A-10
ACC
Big East
B1G
Big XII
MWC
Pac-12
SEC
WCC

I would agree with your list except for the WCC. St Mary's was one of the last 4 in last year. It's pretty much those other 9.

Don't forget BYU's in the WCC. Last season was the first since 2002 that BYU didn't make the tourney. Pacific went to the tourney last year, although for a different conference.

Coppin State beats Oregon State 78-73.

Coppin State 78
Oregon State 73

Craig Robinson has to be among the first few coaches fired this year, right?

Virginia Tech 87
West Virginia 82

we have proof ladies and gentlemen. ACC must be a non power conference.

I guess USC Upstate would blow the doors off of West Virgniia.

#23 Baylor 65
South Carolina 64

1:18 left in the 2nd half

Edit: Baylor survives 66-64 in a wild ending

I am not sure a few of you understand the point of this thread...
