ACC and to a lesser extent the Big 12 are off this year. Big East still behind Big Televen. Mountain West the sleeper conference.
2. Big East (DR: 2)
DCW: Love Syracuse as a Final Four pick right now. Marquette's weaker than forecast, but the top five or six teams in the league look very good. The bottom of the league remains soft.
CCW: Love Syracuse a lot less if James Southerland isn't coming back. Marquette keeps finding ways to win and suddenly has a much stronger profile for the NCAAs. Overall, the top of the league has dipped a little, but this is still the second-best league until further notice.
