North Carolina is No. 1 in preseason coaches poll - USATODAY.com
No Iowa? But I thought we were back??

Obviously these voters did not go watch practice in Ames last year.
I thought more people on this board understood the "we're back" joke, apparently not.
I think they are better than 8th or 9th in the conference, but i dont see them in the top half.
Big Ten:
3. Ohio State
14. Wisconsin
18. Michigan
28. MSU
35. Purdue
I think Michigan may be a little overvalued, will be interesting to see how they solve their PG problem.
Wisconsin is vastly overrated. They lost Leur, Nankinvil and Jarmus. Leur was their best player and Nankinvil was a very good player. I know they have Jordan Taylor but they have to replace quite a bit.
What I should have said is Leur was their best post player. I agree Taylor is their best overall player. I completely disagree with you though on just plugging in post players and they will be fine thinking. If you think they can just replace Leur and Nankinvils production, your sadly mistaken.

We'll see about Iowa State. I'm not buying it, particularly in that conference.

You do realize that final four legend Chris Allen is on that team?
