Dunno if Cal gets a #4 seed if Boyle leaves.

I'm glad I checked the board before I posted this link myself.
This is, of course, an utterly insane thing to do, even crazier than SI's top 10 the day after the tournament ends.

I only really follow the Big East, but I have a few quibbles.
I think Marquette may be a bit too high, considering they are losing 4 seniors. Louisville also seemed a little high considering that are losing Jazz, but honestly Angel was head and shoulders above her.
I think DePaul may a bit too low, and I was surprised to see Pitt as a 7. They could easily be the 3rd best BE team. WVU should be tough, especially with Bulger coming back, and maybe this will be the year Cincinnati breaks through.
I was also very surprised not to see USC in the mix.

I wouldn't be predicting Marquette as an NCAA team at this point - would love to be wrong of course. I don't think losing Jazz Covington will hurt Louisville too much. Wisconsin is down as one of the last 4 teams out and they probably have a better shot at the NCAA's at this point than Marquette does.
DePaul gets a couple key transfers eligible and has a lot of their core players back, WVU has Bulger back as you say (not sure who they lost to graduation this year) and Pitt has most everyone back I think with Winn getting a 6th year too. So I agree with those 3 BE teams being a little low at this point.
But the bottom line is as someone else said in this thread it's really way too early to be doing a bracketology for the 2007-08 season...

I completely agree. He's nuts. I mean, sure I'm counting down the days until November...but I'm not trying to pretend I know how good 64+ teams will be by NEXT March!
And, really, ASU vs. UC Riverside again? Show some imagination, Charlie!
And also, ditto joetro's surprise at USC not being in the mix. I hope he's wrong and the Pac10 can pull off more than 3 bids...

| Creme is bored. I can't even begin to comprehend this beyond Gail having a Sweet 16 berth her first season in Austin.
