Those are the current AP rankings...

---Which top five team will exit the NCAA tournament first?

---Which team not ranked in the top 5 has the best chance to win it all?

---Which team outside the top 10 has the best chance to advance to the Final Four?

---Which top ten team is most likely to get bounced during the opening weekend?

---How many current top 5 teams will make the Final Four?


My answers would be...Villanova, Purdue, Ohio State, Duke, and 3.

Feel free to add any other questions to the discussion.

If we are going off the CURRENT top 5...

WVU is likely the one out of those 5 to exit first, but they won't be in the top 5 after this week.

Purdue has the best chance of those outside of the top 5 to win it all, but they will be in the top 5 by the end of the week.

Top 10 team to get bounced on the first weekend, it's Georgetown, way too reliant on making outside shots.

Of the current top 5, I also think 3 will make the Final Four.

---Which top five team will exit the NCAA tournament first?
I weill agree with WVU and Kentucky would be my next choice. Wall is great, but he is young, The other three teams have some experience in the backcourt, which is a plus.

---Which team not ranked in the top 5 has the best chance to win it all?
Wisconsin will be a tough out, if Jon Leuer returns and regains his game as quickly as Turner did.

---Which team outside the top 10 has the best chance to advance to the Final Four?
This will depned alot on the draw, but Wisconsin is again my choice.

---Which top ten team is most likely to get bounced during the opening weekend?
Michigan State- Something is not right in East Lansing and it isn't just Lucas' ankle. Prior to Lucas' injury the Spartans ESCAPED with victories over Minnesota and Michigan.

---How many current top 5 teams will make the Final Four?
2 seems to be the average, so I will go with that number.

Which top five team will exit the NCAA tournament first?

West Virginia. Way too inconsistent.

Which team not ranked in the top 5 has the best chance to win it all?

Michigan State, but I don't think any team outside of the current top 4 has a shot.

Which team outside the top 10 has the best chance to advance to the Final Four?

Texas based on talent alone.

Which top ten team is most likely to get bounced during the opening weekend?

Georgetown. They have no bench and aren't tough enough inside.

How many current top 5 teams will make the Final Four?

3 of them. Kansas, Kentucky, and one of the Big East teams.

---Which top five team will exit the NCAA tournament first? Out of those 5? Gotta go with West Virginia.

---Which team not ranked in the top 5 has the best chance to win it all? Georgetown. Wright is a pretty good PG. Got the big man in Monroe and Austin Freeman can light it up. Jason Clark is my X factor. If he plays to his ability and supplements their Big 3's scoring......they will be an extremely tough out. They have the ingredients to win the whole things IMO. Lack of a bench could be their undoing.

---Which team outside the top 10 has the best chance to advance to the Final Four? Wisconsin.

---Which top ten team is most likely to get bounced during the opening weekend? Kansas State.

---How many current top 5 teams will make the Final Four? Three.
