I was in the Dr's waiting room reading the November copy of S.I. when a "page fell out". It was the preseason poll of the top 16. Here is how it compares to todays AP poll.

Preseason/ Today

#1 Duke #17
#2 Kansas #1
#3 Kentucky #9
#4 Oregon #6
#5 Villanova #2
#6 N Carolina #5
#7 Virginia #23
#8 Wisconsin #22
#9 Gonzaga #4
#10 Arizona #7
#11 Purdue #16
#12 Xavier # not ranked
#13 Louisville #8
#14 Indiana # not ranked
#15 Syracuse # not ranked
#16 UCLA # 3

I'm not sure if this is interesting or simply proves I really don't have a live.

Well, if the latter is the case, I don't have a life either, because I found it interesting.

Thanks for putting that together Handy, I too enjoyed seeing the comparison of pre season and current rankings.

Me too. I noticed that only 8 teams are within 5 places of where they were forecasted to be.

i do think kentucky will move up a couple of places---when they win the sec out right and the sec tournament

Agree, if those things happen. If they have a bad game, or maybe two they could drop to a 3 or even a 4 seed. Hope they can win out and get a good draw.

Based upon the season thus far, I would say we are a three seed, trying to avoid falling to a four seed.

I would say we are a three seed trying to avoid climbing to a two!

See if anybody gets my sense of humor!

Joe Lunardi has UK as a two seed as of now...if they do well in the SEC tournament that is what I excpect.

Actually, I heard Lunardi say that if Kentucky wins the SEC tourny, a #1 seed is not out of the question. I doubt it, but it was interesting to hear him say that.

Duly noted!

I think we are a solid 2 seed as of right now. All the teams above us that would be 2 seeds such as U of L etal have lost games this week which improves our chances to be or stay on line 2. U of L now have 7 losses which will certainly drop them off line 2 in my opinion. If we win the A&M game Saturday and the SEC tournament, we could be a high 2 seed depending on what happens in the other conference tournaments.
