It's a bit early, but to kill this boredom until college team tennis starts, I was wondering who would be the top 4 or 5 teams this season with a legitimate chance to win the national titles. Tennessee, Virginia, Ohio State, and USC come right to mind but who else?
In the second-tier, I'm thinking of the teams that could pull an upset and get into the Final Four. Texas A&M, Kentucky, Stanford, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and anybody else? I'm sure some have slipped my mind.
Then the third-tier, the teams that should make it to the Sweet Sixteen but not much else. Baylor, Louisville, Notre Dame, Illinois, Duke, Texas Tech, and who else?
It's always so hard to gauge the rankings until the seson gets under way but the top ten teams or so should be pretty solid.
Since the present NCAA format started in 1977, only 7 teams have won the team title. We should get an eighth this year in Tennessee or Virginia but they always seem to trip up somewhere. Should be a very interesting year.
