Couple of preseason rankings sites

Top 144 teams countdown

Top 65 teams countdown

Wake Forest is #137 on the collegehoopsnet.com list.

Yet, Wake Forest is #62 on thehoopsreport.com list. #137 and #62 is a huge difference, that is a big difference of opinion. I guess when you are talking about teams projected to have higher RPI's(outside of the top 25 I guess?), there is more disagreement of opinion.

UC is #60 on the thehoopsreport.com list.

Too much free beer at one of those sites.

There's no such thing as too much free beer.

It is a bit comical. How could anyone come remotely close to ranking the top 144. (in Aug.) It looks like they just forgot WF and were to lazy to re-adjust the rankings. So they use the new coach for an excuse.

But, they got me now. I will keep checking their site...looking at who's #106 105....
D^%$&^ them to !!!

Could a lawyer ever be wrong? I work for a brewery and there are months where I have a tough time giving away my gratis beer. Believe me. And most of my cohorts and former classmates from Victory Parkway are some of most dedicated beer drinkers I've ever met so I do think there is such a thing as too much free beer.

Move down South. We'll fix that problem for you.

I have to agree with paul. You just need to find a wider (and thirstier) audience, Mosquetero.

FWIW, Miller and Arizona at #50, Rhody at #49, and UD at #48.

Was that written by the X coaching staff? They seemed to have nothing but good things to say about the team. Can't help but notice Jackson at point and Lyons at SF. I don't see Jackson playing any point this year unless Tu or Lyons get hurt. Sweet 16 seems like a stretch but I wouldn't rule it out without seeing the development of Frease, Lyons, Robinson, and Redford as well as how the freshman play. If Frease is a beast and X has a complete SG then an elite 8 and better might be possible.
