30-21

30 UNLV
29 Wake Forest
28 Kentucky
27 Villanova
26 Baylor
25 Davidson
24 Gonzaga
23 Syracuse
22 UAB
21 Clemson

Notes: Best name in college basketball, UNLV guard Wink Adams; leading scorer for the Rebels will fill it up out west all season long and help Lon Kruger take UNLV back to the sweet 16...Wake Forest had the best recruiting class in the ACC this season (!) and as a result will be a major force come February...Don't expect Paatrick Patterson to struggle too much for Billy Gillespie this season; the Wildcats should be a sound force in the SEC this season...Nova is back to thier four guard set led by gas guzzler Scottie Reynolds; the scoring machine is the best guard in the Big East, maybe America...Baylor won't be surprising anyone this season, but their defense could help them capture a Big 12 title if Curtis Jerrells has anything to do with it...Stephen Curry is back. Again. He is the best raw scorer in America, but can the Wildcats do it again with less of a supporting cast?...Mark Few has potentially his best Zag team; Jeremy Pargo could be the best guard since Dan Dickau to come out of SPokane. Combine that with the scoring of Austin Daye and the power of Josh Heytvelt and power is restored in the WCC...Paul Harris is back for the Orange, Jim Boeheim needs to find the swagger left behind by Gerry McNamara; Eric Devendorf's return should assist in the renaissance...Robert Vaden will win C-USA player of the year and Mike Davis will bring the Blazers back to the tourney as they hand Memphis their first conference loss in three years on February 26 in Birmingham... No way Oliver Purnell can keep up the success in Death Valley? Clemson is bigger and stronger than ever; the reason they can contend in the ACC.
