Top 5 for next year

[rmilia1]

Next year is gonna be the weakest year I can remember at the top. Teams like UVA, UNC, Auburn and Gonzaga being in the top 15 given what they lost is pretty crazy. I know they have good recruiting classes, but still.

I actually think next year will be a good year for the mid majors. A-10 should have a nice bounce back year, and I like Utah State, St Mary's and BYU to all be at large teams.

I think you're right . Wouldn't shock me to see multiple mid majors in the FF next year

Updated Odds to win a title 2020-


Kentucky 15/2
Duke 6/1
Michigan State, Virginia 8/1
Michigan 12/1
North Carolina 14/1
Gonzaga, Villanova 16/1
Kansas, Marquette, Oregon 22/1
Louisville, Memphis 25/1
Arizona 28/1

 

[The Q]

I like the Louisville, Memphis and Mich St odds the best. I could throw Kansas in there as well, but Self teams flaming out is like an art form for my bracket.

 

[The Q]

VCU is gonna be really good next year.

I wonder what the odds are of a team other than any of these are of winning a title?

But of these by conference:

WCC- 1
Big 12- 2
PAC- 2
SEC- 4
B1G- 4
Big East- 2
ACC- 4
AAC- 1

Who's a dark horse? Cinderella? A team just waiting to brake loose? Or someone overlooked?

Xavier will be good, but I don't know about win the title good.

Outside that list, which I just grabbed the top of randomly, I'd say nil to win.

Honestly, I thought next year was more Nova's year but seeing the comp out there, 16-1 looks pretty good. I might have to take it. Duke and UK also great bets.

I'd feel pretty good about laying some money on Florida. I think they'll be the 2nd best team in the SEC and that is pretty good value. I don't see Texas listed which means they are probably worse odds than 50/1 but I'd feel pretty good about laying some money on them too from a value standpoint.

MSU with Winston Goins, and Ward back and Kansas getting Azubuike healthy and De Sousa cleared should make them the favorites

Did ward pull out?

Did ward pull out?

Nope, sorry, miss-spoke as he stayed in the draft, probably deep second rounder

1/3 makes you a HOF'er in baseball.

 

[The Q]

I mean they’re still a good bet, imo. Just for like 33% of the reasons you went with.

Yeah, you forgot about McQuaid.
