I think expecting top 15 from a program with top 10 resources isn't too unreasonable. We finished every year between 2008 and 2014 ranked in the top 16 of the final AP poll. Haven't managed to be in the top 25 in any year since. From what I can tell we had never been worse than an 8 seed in the tournament ever before and will now have done it 3 times in the past 4 years.

It's debatable if this years team is better as they will likely end up with a very similar record. 6-6 the rest of the way would get them to the same 23-14 record which is certainly possible though I have a way easier time seeing where the 6 losses will come from then where 6 more wins will. The fact that we can even debate which is better when we returned every meaningful player and added high expectation pieces and ended up with the same result is horrific. Last years team barely had 6 healthy guys for a majority of the season and will likely end up with more wins than the same team brought back with another year of experience plus Hughes, Jalen and Buddy added to it.
