I definitely agree with you about UCONN having more ability, talent, etc than G'Town or LVille, but I just don't see them as being clearly a better team than the other top Big East teams right now (Cuse excluded -- the clear number 1). When I read your comment, I was thinking right now. I just think there are too many arguments for GTown or Louisville being a better team to call UCONN a clear number 2, and I would probably put them at 4. I'd put them at four because we have seen how far talented teams who don't play a complete game as a cohesive unit can drop when the Big East grind is at full throttle. They'll improve as they learn to play post-Kemba, but I don't they are deserving of being called a team that clearly the second best in the Big East and Big East play is not always the best time for a young team to gel.

But when comparing their schedules to GTown, for example, I am not sure there is a huge difference. UCONN has a worse loss, and both teams beat opponents who were obviously over-ranked at the time (Memphis, Bama, FSU, I'm also not buying Harvard as a legit top-25 team -- but they are a great story). That's my rationale.

But as Bees said above, UCONN is always good and I expect nothing less this year.
