3 Teams that are overranked:
UCLA - Lost some good talent, Love and Westbrook, to the NBA. I think it's too early in the season to give them this high of a rank. Plays non-conference at Texas. Will be a good opportunity to show they deserve top 5 considerations.
Notre Dame - I love 'em, but too many shooters/perimeter players in a physical Big East Conference. Not sure they have the inside presence to remain in the top 10. UCLA hosts the Irish in Early December, the schedule does them no favors this year as ND also has Oh State on the non-conference docket.
Gonzaga - New Rule: No more ranking the Zag's in the top 25 preseason. Deal. - - I know it's always fun to cheer for the underdog/little guy, but they've advanced past the sweet 16 just one time this decade...isn't it time for this fad to end?
