Does anybody know when Seth Davis’s tenure is up with CBS? It feels as though he has been there for 15 years. Enough already.

“Goodman, along with all these other honks picking UK to win it all, is basically saying coaching and experince are meaningless in the NCAAT.”

Unless you are talking about UNC, in which case, lack of experience is THE reason that UNC will get knocked out in the 2nd round. (For the record, UK’s outside shooting is just as suspect as UNC’s is. Neither Wall or Bledsoe will kill you from 3.)

Ranks this early mean NOTHING – I don’t know why anyone pays attention to them. No one has played a meaningful game. Start ranking teams the third week in January. Remember when State was in the top 25 (preseason) and completely self-destructed? (Other examples left as an exercise.) If UNC is unranked in Jan, it means a LOT of so-called experts will be wiping egg off their faces for their inability to scout the team properly.

^Plus with Kentucky that is 2 teams that did not even qualify for the NCAAT last year that Goodman has playing in the final weekend. Yes, they both have some talented players coming in, but it is rare to make a jump from missing the NCAAT to making the Final Four. Goodman, along with all these other honks picking UK to win it all, is basically saying coaching and experince are meaningless in the NCAAT.

Especially since the Jackets needed OT to beat Indiana(PA) in an exhibition game on Sunday. I think someone is putting too many eggs in Derrick Favors’ basket. Of he ain’t the only one. Gary Parrish had them as a #2 seed in his bracket and Duke a #3. I know Lawal is good and Shumpert will be better, Favors will likely be ROY but I seriously believe Hewitt is trumps them all.

Yeah, saw the GA Tech prediction from Goodman, what a knob! Hitching your horse to a Paul Hewitt coached team, brillant.

I’m not the biggest fan of Seth Davis, but to be fair, he doesn’t predict that UNC will be out of the Top-25 by January.

The question he was asked is, “which team is most LIKELY to be be out of the T25?”

Now, he could have just said, “None,” but that is boring, and writers aren’t paid to be boring, so he really had to choose one of the T10 teams. Given all questions we’ve all beaten to death, along with the schedule, I can’t disagree with the notion the UNC is the, “most likely,” to fall out of the T25, I just think the the chances of ANY of the T10 falling that far are very remote.
