I know Jeff Goodman thinks they should be higher than that. I know they return most of their team back from last years Final 4 squad.FAU at 10?
They are going to end up as a 1 seed with that starting ranking. Such a joke. Really hope Gonzaga joins the Big12 so they stop being over ranked/seeded. Also think the Big12 is going to expose Houston a bit.I know Jeff Goodman thinks they should be higher than that. I know they return most of their team back from last years Final 4 squad.
Looks like they are facing Arizona & Illinois in the Non-Conf. schedule but yeah they will probably roll pretty easily with that conference schedule of theirs.They are going to end up as a 1 seed with that starting ranking.

I think FAU will be a good team but I don't like overreacting to a tournament run and project that forward.
Don't they return everybody? I guess I don't consider ranking them #10 overall an overreaction. If they were top 4 or something sure, but I don't think that's an overreaction.I think FAU will be a good team but I don't like overreacting to a tournament run and project that forward.
That's fair. Maybe the overreaction to UNCs run a couple years ago has me scarredDon't they return everybody? I guess I don't consider ranking them #10 overall an overreaction. If they were top 4 or something sure, but I don't think that's an overreaction.
I’m personally not a fan of ever ranking a G5 team because they will face almost zero competition in their schedule. It’s why I’m excited to see Houston finally play against real teams and wish Gonzaga was forced to as well.Don't they return everybody?

I can understand FAU hype to an extent, a deep tournament run (especially if as an underdog) tends to have hangover effect, + returning so much from the roster.
Gut feeling is FAU is in 3/4/5 seed range, but gets bounced early.
Especially when you beat Memphis, 16 seed Fairleigh Dickson and perpetual tournament underachievers Tennessee.
Agreed but their tournament run is the only reason why they are ranked so it’s a little fair to bring it up.You can't control who you end up playing in the tournament, so IMO that's an unfair method of judging a team. 3 out of the 4 teams they beat to make the Final Four were seeded higher then they were.
