When I checked this out on Twitter last night, I almost passed out.

Who do we have confirmed for OOC next year?

Arkansas
Indiana

NC State.

Imagine if (and a big IF obviously) we get Turner, we would be bumped into the top 10 in all these preseason projections.

Damn there's still no love for the AAC

Memphis and Temple will be good next year as well.

How you figuring Temple is going to be good next year? If anything, Houston would be the next team on my list of being good...2/5 starters are gone from an already bad team. Their top scorer is a senior and their top rebounder is playing for Ohio State next year. Memphis, well...they almost always have underachieved since Cal left, had good talent and not getting the job done.

SMU is going to be very good but that's about the only team in the AAC that is a top 25 lock.

UCONN seems to be considered another as they appear in CBS, ESPN and NBC top 25s for next year.

I more or less meant teams that will be locked to finish in the top 25...UConn should be but they could easily fall in and out. SMU can lose a couple early and still be ranked top 25 just because of how high they're starting. But yes, UConn should be top 25 as well. I sort of meant like Iowa was last year. Top 25 but they weren't good enough to stay Top 25 if that makes sense. SMU is the only real lock is basically what I meant, by far the cream of the crop in the conference.

SMU runs away with it an it's not even close. IMO, the AAC will struggle to have three teams in the top 25; good news is I think the bottom half gets better (and Tulsa will be a quality add).

Try top 5
