					<description><![CDATA[Great preview, fun to read something like this in August. 

I&#039;m going to buy what Jim Boeheim is selling and take Syracuse second. Boeheim&#039;s teams always seem to do better when expected to do less, and vice versa. While acknowledging that, I think the Cuse will have a big year. 

The one team I think you have too high is Louisville. I just don&#039;t think there&#039;s enough talent there to finish in the top half. I pretty much agree on the rest of the rankings, plus or minus a spot. 

I basically agree with Zach on St. John&#039;s. They have the experience and a couple top players but the vast majority of their roster is average Big East talent. I think they&#039;ll be better but I&#039;m going to stop short of saying they&#039;ll make the NCAA&#039;s. I do think they&#039;ll be in the conversation.

Here&#039;s what I&#039;ve got:

1. Villanova
2. Syracuse
3. Pittsburgh
4. Georgetown
5. West Virginia
6. Marquette
7. Seton Hall
8. Notre Dame
9. St. John&#039;s
10. Louisville
11. Connecticut
12. South Florida
13. Cincinnati
14. Providence
15. Rutgers
16. DePaul

I think the league will exceed expectations and put at least 7, probably 8 teams in the tournament. Out of my rankings, I feel Seton Hall, St. John&#039;s and Connecticut have the best chance to move up a lot. Georgetown, West Virginia and Notre Dame may move down a bit.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Great job Rob, fun read. Don&#039;t think I disagree with any of the rankings. SH has the talent to really surprise some people, but as you pointed out chemistry is a major question. We&#039;ll see how Willard can deal with these personalities, the jury is certainly out on that one. St. John&#039;s is also intriguing. Given Lavin&#039;s success at UCLA, coaching might be the difference to push that Kennedy-Hardy-Horne group into NCAA contention.]]></description>
