Creme's Way too Early Top 25.
Totally arbritary. Stanford is down, but not that far down or so this Cardinal Fan firmly believes.

Thanks.
Yes, I agree that Stanford will suffer a drop, but not that much.
Creme seems to like the SEC with 3 of top 4 and 4 of top 6. Can't argue too much, but think ND will be higher, and one of those SEC teams will under perform. Not sure which one, but I don't think that four of top six at midseason will be SEC. That said, the SEC has been off for a few years, the addition of TAMU and Staley is returning the SEC to old glory.

ESPN being ESPN is all that is...I have honestly grown so sick of them. They are basically the sports version of TMZ nowadays and it's really become annoying. I mean, when one of the headlines yesterday was "Bosh hasn't talked to Lebron since the break up"...come on, that isn't sports at all.
Their writing, editing, etc really has gone downhill in a hurry.

And now with their billion dollar conflict-of-interest with the SEC and their network, they are a 24/7 SEC infomercial, at least in football. If they had their way there would be four SEC teams in the new four-team college football playoff. I'm waiting to see if the same nonstop shilling for the SEC carries over to basketball. I doubt that it will because they basically own most of college basketball, but it will be interesting to see.

I don't know...there is an awful lot of Coach Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats on ESPN almost nonstop. It would definitely be a much harder sell for men's hoops as after Kentucky and Florida, there really isn't a whole lot there at the moment.

Not only that, but ESPN-W isn't even about women's sports mostly any more. Men's sports are all over the page. If I want to read about men's sports I'll go to the main page, thank you

That's true about KY. They even televised KY's summer exhibition boondoggle games in the Bahamas this year.
