That is actually a respectable ranking especially compared to previous preseason and postseason rankings. Beavers are actually getting some respect.

Beavers are actually getting some respect. #52 would put them solidly in the NCAA Tournament.. nice to see OSU get a bit of positive preseason mention..hopefully this is the start of something |

Somehow, hole is a top 10 team while their roster is a revolving door. Oregon has a proven track record though.. so like it or not they are going to get the benefit of the doubt in preseason ranking |

There are only 36 at-large bids, so it would depend on the number of upsets in conference tournaments. |

We lost our best player....so there's that. Given. On the other hand, we lost our best player the year before with Tres, and continued to have success. Albeit, in a circuitous path. Most of the teams on the list lost their best players. In some cases, like hole, they are replacing a lot more production than we are. ET WAS the heart and soul of last year's team. We know replacing him will be tough, but it's not like we are alone in that. |

I was being a little tongue in cheek in my OP about not getting respect. All things considered, it is pretty cool just to make it on a pre-season ranking. At all. I actually didn't think OSU was even mentioned, and expected as much. Had to scan the bottom of the list a couple times before I realized OSU was even on there. |

Personally, I would rather return most of an Elite 8 team than bank on a bunch of shiny recruiting rankings. Experience matters. |
