1.Duke- Lots of talented players, they have redick with good shooting, Williams inside.
2.Texas- Another talented team with a lot of experience on the team
3.Connecuit
4.Michigan St.

I love my Spartans and Izzo... but they lost a lot of seniors off last year's Final Four team. I think they may struggle a bit.

Duke is going to smash everyone. They have Redick to shoot, Paulus (sick Freshman PG), Williams and McRoberts (#1 rated player coming out of high school) on the inside, seriously, I see them possibly running the table.

i cant stand duke, but they are probably the best team in the country again this year. i dont think they run the table, just because of the conference that they play in, but they could very easily lose only 1 or 2 games this season.

i dont think that anyone in either the big east or the acc will run the table, but they will dominate in the ncaa tourney. those two conferences are so deep right now, that i could see them having something like 12-14 teams in the tourney field between them.

Even though I have Duke ranked number 1 i don't think that they will win the National championship. They do have a good players but I don' really think there that good of a team. This year in college basketball I don't think there really is that dominant team. I think almost any team this year can win the national championship. Out of those 4 teams that I have though I think Texas has the best chance. Wouldn't that be something if they won in basketball and football.

I know that they lost a loit of their top players from last year, but since I went to Illinois, I still to go and root for them. But, honestly I think that Duke has the best team as of right now.

Duke has the best starting 5 in college basketball, and actually have big men on the bench this year. Last year if Williams was in foul trouble, they were in trouble, this year, he has some support in the paint. Barring an injury, noone touches Duke this year.

Someone give me 5:1 and I'll take them to win the Final Four right now.

Screw duke. They will lose to GT at Alexander Memorial Coliseum on the 22nd of February! I will help by hitting Reddick in the back of the head with a tomato as he pulls up off a screen...Then I will run down on the court and rip off his undershirt to see what he is hiding under that queer little cutoff he always wears. Back acne anyone? Bastard.


[As a basketball fan, he is one of the best to watch in college BB. His stroke and gameplay are beautiful. By gameplay I mean shooting. Lets face it, he won't be able to drive on anyone in the NBA]

lol, good one lightfungus. Are you a GT fan? or do you just hate Duke? either way, you can make sportcenter if you actually do that to Reddick.
