Didn't say they were a bad team...just not top 5. They have to earn that. You can't just give it to them. Preseason rankings are pretty much made based on talent. When the first polls come out this year I can virtually guarantee that Pitt will be in the top five. How do you argue against the poll makers and so called experts? Why is Pitt slated as the third most likely team to win the national championship according to Vegas? Why does ESPN feel that they're a top five team? These guys DO know something about basketball - they aren't putting them up there for shits and giggles. This stuff is based on talent, and talent wise Pitt is a top five team in the country. Just looking for someone to tell me I was right. Thanks The person who tells me I was right can rhyme with braniac also.

Plus, they're 6th - not 18th or 44th. I was close enough.

Michigan State should be ahead of Pitt. When Roe gets his legs back, it's over.

Haha, right. i agree. duke shouldnt be in the top 10. but they will be better than they were last year. unc shouldnt be in the top 5 either. pitt imo isnt a top 5 team either. they will fall. they are AT BEST 3rd in the beast and id guess a sleeper comes up and pitt finishes 4th.
