Not to spoil the surprise, but Georgia didn't make the list. They also didn't make the 15 additional teams Brennan believes could crack the top 25 in the first month of the season.
I personally have no problem with that. If Georgia had been included in those 15 teams, I would have nodded my head in tentative agreement, but I am not at all offended that they weren't included. I personally think Georgia is likely to finish somewhere in the 40-50 range, but the potential is certainly there for a borderline top 25 club. Who knows?
A few notes of interest:
- He expects Kentucky and Florida to reload. No surprise there, but I think Kentucky needs to fall a few spots once a few of those freshman declare for the NBA, and Florida at 8 seems really high considering what they are losing.
- Tennessee makes the "other 15 to watch list," and that rounds out the SEC's representation in what is essentially Brennan's top 40. The point? Expect the SEC to remain top-heavy for at least one more year.
- Gonzaga checks in at #15, and could be an early season opponent depending on how the NIT Season Tip-Off shakes out.
