Wow... Duke is pre-season number 8. Or perhaps number 9, as the AP reports below....
Oh yeah, the 2009 Men's National Basketball Champion... North Carolina Tar Heels are ranked number 6. That's of course after they lost their top 3 guys in the draft, and yet here we are, with the top frontcourt again in the country.
For those of you looking for your team, here is the Top 25...
