SMU Mustangs

Last year's record: 25-5

This year's projected record: 24-7

This is the team with the asterisk. SMU wouldn't be on this list if it had been eligible to make last year's NCAA Tournament. But sanctions prevented that, so the Ponies didn't get to play in any postseason bracket. Now Tim Jankovich is doing a good job as Larry Brown's replacement (if you missed it, Brown bailed on the job in July), and the Ponies have one of the five most improved players in America in Semi Ojeleye. In fact, if you want a decent Sweet 16 sleeper, this is your team. Sterling Brown, Ben Moore, Shake Milton: these are all quality players that could start on many a top-25 team. SMU appears to be the firm No. 2 team in the American, only behind Cincinnati.

SMU pounds UConn by 20 at Moody Coliseum. Ponies look like an NCAA team with legitimate sleeper potential. Wouldn't want to play em.
