SMU at #13...It's officially "next year"

13. SMU

Notable players definitely gone: Yanick Moreira, Cannen Cunningham, Ryan Manuel
Others expected to leave: None
Notable players expected to return: Nic Moore, Markus Kennedy, Ben Moore, Sterling Brown, Ben Emelogu
Others expected to join the roster: Shake Milton, Cedrick Barefield
Why the Mustangs are ranked here: The reigning American Athletic Conference Player of the Year (Nic Moore) is back. That means SMU should make the NCAA Tournament in consecutive years for the first time since 1984 and 1985.

Nice...would be nicer if they could spell Sed's name right, though.

No mention of KF. Virginia at #1 is surprising.

I'm sure the writer just looked at the roster at the end of the season and KF wasn't on it...that simple.

Let that sink in... Preseason Top 15. Hopefully the NCAA doesn't screw us and everybody (including Keith and his towell) come back. Gonna be a fun ride. #MudiayWho? #scrUwCLA

I don't care if Keith comes back or not. Next year is gonna be awesome!

I do! We missed his money kick out 3 pointer in a lot of games he wasn't eligible for, including the one against UCLA.

Weren't even in ESPN's way too early rankings...

And Texas is... That is laughable.

Based on these rankings we'll have two top 20 teams in Moody early on - #8 Zags & #18 Michigan.

Payback for Gonzaga. I hope our students honor their team with an overrated chant.

Please. I wish people would get this through their head. Overrated is the stupidest chant ever. Do you want to have beaten a great team, or a not so great one? Chanting "overrated" diminishes your accomplishment. Chant "underrated" for your team, but never "overrated" for your opponent. Unless it's TCU, of course. TCU is always overrated.
