<p>The ESPN/USA Today coaches poll released it&#8217;s preseason rankings last week, unveiling a list that contains no surprises at the top: North Carolina received thirty of the thirty-one first place votes. The final remaining first place vote, and apparently most of the second place votes, went to Kentucky. With the amount of talent that&#8217;s been assembled [...]</div>]]></description>
