Where's LSU?

No NC State? Guessed they missed that Omer Yurt7 was just ruled eligible by the NCAA after a 9 game suspension.

I mean, I think Yurtseven will be good, but I'm not sure adding him (& Dennis Smith) to a team with a losing record the previous year should get you a spot in the preseason polls.

St Mary's really isn't that good... NIT team
Not sold on West Virginia. 6 seed at best
Texas same issue. Lost too much from last year. Unless the new recruits impact right away they are not a Top 25 team
UCLA is a joke. They won't finish in the Top 25.
Iowa State will be held back by their coach. Lost too much from last year. Hoi berg was the program and he is gone. They have a losing conference record this year just watch
Syracuse should be higher

Aw hell yea, you know I was just salivating for someone to take the bait.
Additions:
Omer Yurtseven (projected first round pick in 2017 or 2018)
Dennis Smith Jr (Projected top 5 pick in 2017)
Terry Henderson (Double digit scorer at WVU)
Torin Dorn (C-USA freshman of the year and double digit scorer)
Markell Johnson (top 50 recruit)
Ted Kapita (top 60 recruit)
Thats being added. Vegas has State with the 24th best odds to win the ship. Blue ribbon yearbook has has in the top 25.
And then theres this
quote:
"I've talked to multiple NBA guys who have raved about N.C. State's overall talent. It's why I'll have them firmly in my Preseason Power Rankings -- despite some concerns about Gottfried. Dennis Smith has looked phenomenal to everyone who has been through Raleigh -- and the ball shouldn't stick nearly as much with him running the show as it did with Cat Barber. Smith should be a clear-cut lottery pick -- if he stays healthy. Skilled 7-footer Omer Yurtseven (possible first-rounder) still isn't cleared, but staff is confident he'll only miss a few games. Keys are a healthy Terry Henderson and addition of Charlotte transfer Torin Dorn. No glaring holes with this team. Athletic, have size, experience, depth, terrific PG. N.C. State has Top 10 overall talent.-Jeff Goodman"
eta:
Just checked and states odds have gone up with 18th best. From 100/1 to 60/1
Its happening

SEC is in for a rough year but florida and a&m should be ranked by seasons end

Prepare to be disappointed in this dude. For as good as he is on offense (and that's questionable) he is a bigger liability on D.

I mean, I understand if they play well during the year that they'll be ranked sooner rather than later. They aren't that far outside the top 25 in the AP Poll.
But they also went 15-16 or something like that last year. I can understand why not everyone had them in their top 25. I don't think you get to complain of being left off a preseason poll after a year like that. You just prove how good you actually are the following year.

Would love to see a Duke Wisconsin rematch for the title

Yurtseven getting a nine-game suspension for money earned overseas in Turkey.
eTA: Already mentioned. Don't even care.

The eternal optimism of the NC State fan... Gotta love it

Typical NCAA b.s.
They couldnt actually prove he did anything wrong, but have decided he is partially guilty because he cant be proven innocent. =30% regular season suspension and $1000 fine.
lol ok
Meanwhile, Carolina continues to go unpunished for decades of academic fraud
