Nope I just looked at it again and here is his list of 10 to watch, notice UL did not even make this list. Personally even as a UK fan i find this hard to believe UL has a very good team

Ten more to watch

GONZAGA, MISSISSIPPI, MISSISSIPPI STATE, KANSAS STATE, FLORIDA, DAYTON, VANDERBILT, NOTRE DAME, GEORGETOWN, CREIGHTON

Rankings dont mean nothing when UL and Uk will play. And that gives LOU a chip on their shoulder

Rankings do mean something, and we've been the better team 26 out of 40 times. Upsets happen every now and then, but normally the better team wins in the end. That is precisely why your team has only won 14 out of 40 times!

I am a true blue wildcats fan, but I would have to say UL does deserve to be ranked

I stated in another post that UL should be a top 20 team next year, with a nice nucleus of players returning, and some nice additions that include Siva and Buckles. They will be a nice team that should be somewhere between a 3 and 5 seed in the NCAA tournament. Now Willie, it's your turn. What do you think about the cats next year? Most national pundits have the cats as a top 5 team, which would make them a 2 seed at worst in the NCAA tournament. What's your opinion on the cats?

Shawn, UL will not get a three to five seed, at worst, a 2. We have a very good team this year, and given that the NCAA looks at what you do all season, I don't see us getting a three.However, like I have stated rankings are just projections, and until they are backed up, that is what they remain, and I say that for all teams, not being biased. As for UK, this year looks real good for ya. At worst, a two seed.

Uk is a solid top three team, and I can understand why the cards are not ranked right now and it is because they lost three of their best players.I will not be blinded as a UL fan and say that we will not struggle this year, Sosa has alot of growing up to do if he is to lead this team.Samuels has to develop a better inside game and I am not all that impressed with swopshire just yet.He will have to improve his game also over the summer.Both UL and Uk will go through some growing pains Uk because of a new coach and a new sytem but I do think they will do just fine by march.UL will stuggle just for the fact that T-will is gone and the team does'nt have a front runner to lead the team right now.But I will say it is good to see UL,UK, and Indiana all coming together again, because I say screw tobacco road if you want to see real basketball you have to come to what we call Kentuckyana.

To comment on your heading, it's always going to be tough to outshine the Duke/UNC rivalry. Both teams are in the same conference, they play twice a year, and their towns are several miles apart. But, with the influx of talent each side, Kentucky/Louisville has the ability to be just as fun, if not more.

A 2 at worst for Louisville???? Wow, that's a bold prediction. I think you'll be the only person in the nation who will have the cards that high. I think me saying between a 3 and a 5 was very fair. A two at worst???? That's pretty far out there.
