Big Ten/ACC Challenge

I'm thinking the same thing Valenth. He's had a lot of good recruiting classes and a lot of very good players, and hasn't done much with it.

Seems like the Power of the ACC is in its normal zone... Duke and UNC.

B1G Has Michigan State, Purdue and Maryland...

[Chieftain2009]

ACC is top heavy. The B1G has some good teams at the top but overall they have a lot of depth

[Valenth]

Power in other big conferences.

SEC Looks good... UK, Vandy, Texas A&M and LSU all look good.

BIG XII - Kansas, Iowa State and Oklahoma

PAC12 - Arizona, Oregon and Cal

This year I think the tourny is wide open to some cindarella's, not tons and tons of great teams in the power 5.

ACC:
UNC - With Paige they are freaking good!
Duke - They are Duke again.
Virginia - A team that will win a lot of close game, but will win a lot of games
Syracuse - Can't get a good read, but they lack size and physicality
Miami (FL) - Tough team, will get better
Louisville - Good team again, gave MSU a good run

B1G:
Michigan State: I think the best team in the conference. Denzel Valentine best player in conference maybe the country.
Maryland: Maybe a little overrated but still a chance to make a run at the Final 4
Purdue: Very underrated to start season, they are blowing out everyone right now
Indiana: Good, talented, young team. Struggles to score though

Big XII:
Kansas: Probably will win the conference for the millionth year in a row LOL
Iowa State: Dangerous, talented team, even without Hoiberg at the helm
Oklahome: Experienced team, with great coaching, could make a good run this year
WVU: Haven't really played anyone yet, jury is till out on them
Baylor: Same story as WVU, but they have played Oregon and lost.

Pac 12:
Oregon: Did beat Baylor, but besides that, don't know much.
Arizona: Perennial power in the Pac12, lost to Providence, only good team they've played so far
Cal: Haven't got to watch them yet

SEC:
Kentucky: Need I say more? They play with athleticism, talent and physicality. Another Final 4 run
Vanderbilt: Looks to be a very good team this year. Will challenge for SEC, lost to Kansas
Texas A&M: I think they are a good team, one of only 3 teams that could win the SEC (Nobody else has a chance). Beat Gonzaga & Texas

[Valenth]

Great insight. I agree.

[Chieftain2009]

Also, LSU is not a very good team. They have a great player, guy will probably go 1st overall in the draft.
