and fans seem to be this year. We think we have amazing talent and will have a great team, but this doesn't seem to be a universal perception. I haven't seen BYU ranked in anyone's preseason Top 25 (ESPN linked below; we're not in the Top 30), and most bracketology-type projections are forecasting us to have a similar NCAA seed as last year (Lunardi sees BYU as a #7 — see link below). It will be interesting to see how things play out, and who is right.
