    Michigan, L, Zona - 3 of the final four teams.

    They look so much better than anyone else I have seen so far this year.

    Only other team I might throw in contention is Florida.

    Title should include UL (louisville) in place of the L - fat fingers pressed enter.

    As of right now they've also played a combined 0 ranked teams. No surprise that they've looked good.

    Title futures in NCAABK is an absolute clusterfukk. The odds are so painfully off, it isn't even funny.

    You could get me to take one of those three teams 10:1 as a 1 seed, going into the actual dance. Tournament fukks up too much.

    'Zaga looks solid, I am not buying their backcourt though.

    I'll give you that, although - the top dogs are losing to painfully unranked teams.

    At least these 3 are looking like dominant teams.

    I don't think Michigan is that great, way early though. Anyone's tourney this year.

    Found Michigan 20-1 somewhere, not sure if that's good or not?

    Don't sleep on Zaga, I'd throw Mizzou in the mix, but they always seem to have a brain fart before the final four in the toruney

    no wonder louisville is getting so much hype. just heard SIVA is the preseason player of the year, in the big east. if people think he is the player of the year then of course they will think louisville is unbeatable. problem is SIVA is not very good. 9 pts 5 asts last year. He didnt look very smart either, judging from the many Louisville games i saw last year. did he find a jump shot in the off season?

    unreal, he's the best pg in the nation...

    Doesn't need a jump shot, he is a true pg... will lead the ncaa in assists this year, atleast top 5

    might be top of the list in assists this year but he will probably be top 5 in turnovers per game as well.

    just jawing with you LK, good luck and I hope they win it all, I just dont see Siva having any kind of SPECIAL talent.

    I don't have any problems with Louisville or maybe Michigan but Arizona is WAY out of their league. Gonzaga looks like a final 4 team to me MUCH MORE than Arizona

    I think Michigan State could potentially get to the Final 4 level. Ohio State and Kansas are still contenders in my estimation. Something about Pitt makes me think they could go deep this year finally as well. Outside of that, I don't see a lot of other contenders. Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, and Baylor have basically no chance at a Final 4 IMO. Just glancing at the top 25, I think I could pick the title winner if you gave me 5-6 teams easy

    Louisville is legit for sure.....I Like Michigan alot too although not completely sold just yet....Zona I need to see more of (no real opinion yet)

    I will say that I don't think Duke or Indiana will be there at the end......Especially Duke

    think Michigan is seriously over rated. don't get me wrong i think they are a potential sweet 16 team but no better

    they still play zero defense. They would have to play 3 games without having a bad offensive showing to have any shot at playing in a Final 4
