Anyone who thinks we're Top 11 is suffering from acute astigmatism.

Without Vander, we're closer to #25. With him we might have been Top 10-12, but we will have lost three starters - all on the perimeter.

I don't find a whole lot of credibility with the guy behind Bleacher Report.

I think there is a very real chance Marquette is top 10(11) by the end of the season. Two of the three starters lost are very replaceable (Junior and Lockett), and I still think Mayo could be as efficient as Blue last year (just with less possessions used). If the freshmen and McKay play near the level of expectations on paper, this could be Buzz's best team yet.

From what I have seen this summer from Chris Otule, Derek Wilson, Jamil Wilson, Juan Anderson and Jamil McKay, MU could be there without question.

I agree regarding Bleacher Report credibility. That said, I feel not having Vander is the difference between a top-5 team and a team in the 10-15 range. Top 11 isn't an unfair statement at all, though most of it will come down to stability at the point.
