Tim Jankovich, SMU (18-4, 8-1 in the AAC)
Jankovich was the coach-in-waiting who rather abruptly became the coach-for-real last summer, when Larry Brown and SMU couldn't come to terms on a new deal. The Ponies haven't been worse off without the Hall of Famer around. SMU is NCAA Tournament material, and to me has the most talented starting five in the American. The Mustangs were really good last season, remember, but were not eligible for postseason play due to NCAA sanctions. SMU is currently 22nd in KenPom.
That is very high praise.....

Tainted a bit with Frodo on the list, but this is awesome for Jank and SMU. Getting some love.

Hey, I'll take all the press we can get so we aren't forgotten at NCAA selection time....although all we have to do is keep winning in conference and win the conference tourney and it won't matter.
