AUSCalum87 490 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 It’s going to be like this for the rest of the preseason magazines. UAT makes them money, despite having the 5th or 6th best roster. I mean, how is Purdue in the top 10? I still say Baylor is overrated as well. And UNC is getting way too much love. Finally, not having Auburn in the top 10 is farcical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerOne 1,312 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 (edited) Auburn needs to make major noise this year or we will disappear. Bruce doesn’t deserve it but the pressure is intense to deliver or slide into mediocrity. It is encouraging to see Auburn ranked as the second best sec team. Notice no Kentucky to be seen.

I would say definitely the most overrated team on that list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why though I don’t pay attention to these preseason rankings. There’s very little substance on how they rank and more about pushing narratives and agendas to promote certain programs. Like I said, UAT has a top 10 roster like Auburn. Neither one have a top 5 roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if I would go that far, but I do agree, with this roster and having possibly at least 3 players who could be on NBA rosters next year with Broome, Kelly and Pettiford, I will be extremely disappointed if we don’t get to the very least the Elite 8. Without knowing how our schedule sets up, it’s difficult to make a prediction in conference but just going by who our conference opponents will be, I believe the floor with this team is 12-6 and the ceiling is 16-2.

And I'm not buying UCLA, Cronin seems kind of washed up. His style doesn't fit LA either. Kind of a West Coast Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have some really good pieces and as much as I loathe their coach he can coach. The SEC is LOADED this year. I think there are 5 tiers: Tier 1: Auburn, UAT Tier 2: UF and A&M Tier 3: UT, Arkansas, UK and Texas Tier 4: Ole Miss, MSU, UGA and LSU Tier 5: Mizzou, South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Oklahoma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
