So there it is. Take it for what it's worth, which, with $7.00, will get you a beer at the Runway. I nearly picked West Virginia to go undefeated, but am having a hard time thinking it will happen. Have a feeling you might see Rutgers, Louisville and West Virginia all at 6-1, with South Florida pulling an upset in there. I think UConn can win all five OOC games, but it's also am unsure if the Huskies can pull it off.

More predictions and rankings to come.
