Are there any sleepers in college basketball?

It looks like the top 10 will be something along these lines:
1. Kansas
2. Syracuse
3. Kentucky
4. Villanova
5. West Virginia
6. Purdue
7. Georgetown (despite the USF loss, they shouldn't be dropped behind Duke so soon)
8. Duke
9. Michigan State (drop them to 10 probably if they lose tonight)
10. Kansas State
Obviously, you can change teams around a little bit, but look after the 10 spot. You have a struggling Texas team, Ohio State, and a bunch of teams that aren't very good. Can anyone be a sleeper and beat the top 10 teams to get into the Final 4 this year? I really don't see too many options. Maybe Vanderbilt or Baylor?

Funny having Syracuse up there. I saved this gem from a blog I read the first week of the season.
quote:
37. Syracuse- Boeheim looks to have great rebounding with Wesley Johnson & Arinze Onuaku, but guard play/turnovers will give the Orange fits. Freshman Brandon Triche and returning vet Scoop Jardine are pretty much all Boeheim has in the backcourt, unless he moves 6-5 Andy Rautins back from the three-spot, and he may have to. Losing Johnny Flynn, Eric Devendorf, and Paul Harris early is going to have a measurable negative impact this year. Luckily, the Big East won't be quite as tough as last season, so the Orange won't get unfairly squeezed out of a shot at a tourney berth.

I like the way Wisconsin plays defense for the tourney

I think GT is good enough to get to the Final Four and has shitty enough coaching to lose in the first round

I like the way Purdue plays.
