Stony Brook, Maryland and Virginia too low... :-)

The rankings look pretty good except I would drop Cuse to 6 and move 4-6 up one. That said anyone else sick of Spallina's endless hype machine.

No fan of the hype machine but don’t think a #6 ranking is out of line, if anything they should be higher. Not sure ND belongs at 2. Virginia could be higher. Why Duke at 11?

IMHO we will see even less parity over the next few years. The strong will get stronger because they will be able to bring in transfers and 5th year players like never before. The top (college players) will flock to the best programs. This will also impact current high school players because college coaches will look to bring in more proven college players.

Can't see anyone outside the perennial Top 10 - 15 programs being able to break in, there just is not enough talent to go around. The best programs bring in the majority of the top players each and every year and now they will also be bringing in high end transfers not just the Under Armour All Americans. Transfer Portal + at least 3 classes of players with an extra year of eligibility will help the rich get richer.
