Now that conference play has started we will begin to see what teams are really made of, yet this year more than recent years it seems as if the Top 4 teams are a tier above what I will call the rest.
The Top 4 teams being Kansas, Texas, Kentucky, and Purdue. Having seen the majority of them play I have come to the realization that if these teams play to their capabilities (yes they won't some games) that they are far and away the 4 #1 seeds for the tournament. Thoughts??
It just seems that this is a down year for college basketball year, period.
Not certain about that. IU may still make a late run, especially if all the players stay on the honor roll.
Uhhh. . . pretty sure there were only 4 teams:
Rockford Peaches, Racine Belles, Kenosha Comets, and South Bend Blue Sox. ;D
Kenosha Kickers polka team from John Candy in Train Planes and Automobiles.

I know he was in a polka band in Home Alone, but I haven't seen Planes Trains and Automobiles in a long time...
EDIT: I agree with KipsBayEagle...but I also think it's too early to make a call on this yet
Ah, that was it, thank you for the correction.

Yeah, college football was the same way this year. No drama. No real upsets. Capped off by a poor championship game.
I'm not sure I'd throw Purdue in that group without the PG. A case can certainly be made that there's a falloff from KU, UT and UK to the next tier.

In football's defense, it might have been a little more compelling had McCoy stayed in...
But I agree, I opted for Mad Men over the game.
I know that they suck when it comes to March but I think this Duke team is being overlooked. I know they are ranked #5 right now but no one seems to be talking about them. They are as fast as I have seen them in recent years. I feel they will overtake Purdue at the end of the year, plus they are in a slightly tougher conference.

They'll overtake Purdue by the end of the day. Boilers are getting their ass whipped in Madison today.
