Title: Top 4 Teams in a League of Their Own?
Post by: damuts222 on January 08, 2010, 10:52:29 AM
  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

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

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.

Capped off by a poor championship game.

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.
