I think 5 is more likely than 3. Right now, its Duke, Pitt, Clem and then UNC, SMU, FSU, Lou, Stan, Wake, and NC St fighting for 2 bids.

I don’t think LSU gets in.

Yea. They are going to really struggle in the SEC without Reed. 4-14

3 SEC teams and 1 ACC team in those four. I can see why people think 11-12 SEC, but some of the teams like the ones I listed will need to rack up Q1/2 wins.

UNC will likely figure it out and do well in the ACC. I think a 5th team will probably step up too.

Louisville losing Pryor takes them out, IMO. Wake couldn't get in the last few years with better teams, so I'm not sure that Forbes can get it done. FSU looks okay, but seem like a team that will be around .500 all year in the league. NC State isn't good. I haven't seen Stanford play yet, but that non-conference schedule is weak as hell with some bad losses in there. I don't see it.

Hell, so maybe it is only 4 teams because the potential 5th options probably comes down exclusively to SMU and Wake.

Lou - losing Pryor hurts and they just arent ready

NC St - I dont know. I feel like they'll be around the bubble like they always are

Wake - I agree

FSU - darkhorse but I dont think they can rack up enough good wins

UNC - They dont seem like a very good team and do you really trust Hubert? Not so sure they dont go 10-10

Stanford - schedule has been cake and they managed to lose 2 but they might have the best coach in the league and the best big in the nation so they have an outside chance

SMU - this would be my pick if I had to pick one. Boopie Miller is legit, they have a good coach, and I feel like they are going to win most, if not all, their home games.
