Top 15 Teams who might not be as good as they seem
BYU - Ranked #8 but they really are a 1 man show. Slow Jimmer down and you are almost guaranteed a win. Defensive Efficiency is currently 36th which as you recall is outside of the magically top 25 to make a final four.
Pittsburgh - Ranked #4 and a team I really like. The Big East grind will wear them down and they will be susceptible to an upset come March. Offensive Efficiency is #1 but Defense is a common man like 37th. Can't see them doing it this year
Georgetown - Ranked #13 they've gone up and then down and are now back up. Defensive Efficiency is #47. They will keep winning in February but March is looming
Teams outside the top 15 who may be better than they seem
Louisville - ranked #16 they've had some battles with the above teams. Defensively they are #19 and offensively they sit at 39th. This team will go as far as Peyton Siva takes them.
Illinois - Not ranked; they just lost at Indiana. I see this as a wake up call as they pounded Penn State last night. Ranked 23rd in Offensive and 24th in Defense they have a chance at a deep March run
North Carolina - Ranked #23 and this hurts to type but they really are under the radar right now. Harrison Barnes is starting to come around and that will help their 51st offensive rank. Combined that with the 7th best defense and there's the making of a tough March out.
