Every year people say watch out for this team or that team but in the end its usually the same teams year after year. The level of play falls off a cliff outside the top 20. Then there is a big difference from 10-20.

And as far as Spallina, guy is impossible to root for. Cocky, overly physical, coaches to bend rules or take liberties, BUT guy gets more with less than any other coach in the country. If he was at Florida or ND during their strong years he would have won a couple of Naty's, those coaches couldnt coach up great teams when they needed coaching in the tournament
