There are a few teams this year who are ranked higher than they have in a while. And for most of them there is a lot of hype around the recruits they brought in. Here is my 5 teams this season
The Temple Owls, currently sitting at 20-7, 10-5 in the American, currently sit on the elusive bubble of the NCAA Tournament field of 68. Although Temple’s record is one of the better on the bubble, it holds one win in three games versus top 25 opponents, making Temple a questionable selection for the committee. In November, Temple scheduled three games

Quarterfinal matchups that the favorites want
