You can say the run for a repeat title begins when the preseason polls come out. Well, it is OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats go to Kansas, who is #1 in both AP and coaches' preseason polls. In the Coaches' Poll, #2 is Michigan State, followed by Texas, North Carolina and Kentucky. In the AP Poll, #2 is Michigan State, followed by Texas, Kentucky and Villanova. North Carolina is sixth. So according to the schedule NC's got, we could be looking at at least three top five or top six games, and they are the Kentucky game at their house, Michigan State at our house, and Texas in Dallas. Let's hope they happen, because looking at the rankings, and the schedule, NC is going to be heavily challenged as the defending University of National Champs.
