Part of the fun is proving these rankings wrong.

No worries whatsoever about this--just like I wasn't worked up over the ACC projections yesterday.  Here's what I expect to happen:
[LIST]
[*]We start the season unranked, or at the extreme tail end of the top 25, garnering very little hype during the preseason
[*]We dominate in the invitational tournament we'll play in, winning or making the championship game--which opens eyes nationally
[*]We quickly shift into the top 10 based upon this performance
[*]We get off to a quick start to the season, despite the pieces needing time to gel, and climb into the top 5 range by the holidays
[/LIST]
Our team has a lot of talent and firepower this season.  Most outsiders look at our squad, see a team that barely made the tournament [despite the final four appearance], and then lost its top three scorers / starting backcourt. They'll take some convincing before they change their opinion.

They'll be singing a different tune in December.
