The Power Five's Least Powerful Teams

1. Kansas: a good HS team could beat them
2. Iowa State: Losing by 20 to TCU is better than losing by 200 to Memphis
3. Illinois: Hire Ron Zook
4. UVA: Unclear to me how they got so bad. They'll get better going forward, but I sure didn't see this level of putridity coming.
5. Kentucky: A 22 point spread against focking New Mexico State was indictment enough. Not covering it is laughable.
6. Purdue: Hey, they're improving from last season.
7. Rutgers: They covered for me against The Fighting Bob Davies, but I saw enough to pick up on how bad they are.
8. Vandy: I had GT and the outcome was never in doubt
9. Boston College: I also had VT and never had to sweat it.
10. Duke: Cut doesn't recruit well enough to survive an injury bug.

HM:
Syracuse: I sort of forgot about cuse. They might belong in the top ten, but I don't feel like changing it up now.

 

Kansas got trucked by Memphis State. That should mean immediate dissolution of their football program.

 

Common thread: lots of great hoops programs.

 

Cut is known as a bad recruiter, but he's actually done very well by Duke standards. Pulling a few 4*s per class now

 

#4 is pretty easy to answer. They hung on to Al Groh 2-3 years too long, then replaced him with Mike London. That will **** up any program.

 

London might be worse than Butch or Dooley.

 

Interested in how Lovie does with Illinois.

 

I think you could interchange Kentucky, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.

 

Virginia lost to a UConn team with Butch Jones Junior as coach.

 

But probably better than Groh.

 

I had to give Cocky credit for beating a team with a pulse.

 

Nowhere to go but up.

 

I guess only the 4* guys are getting injured then.

 

No way. Groh was bad, but at least he had the intelligence to surround himself with good assistants. London's staffs were pathetic.
