Didn't see this talked about some of the nerds have their preseason numbers plugged in:
KenPom's ratings have us #16 and at least slightly favored in all but 7 games (Creighton (+1), Texas Tech (+1), Purdue (+3), Texas away (+2), Mississippi State away (+1), Florida away (+1) and at home to Auburn (+1))
Torvik's formula has us #12, his schedule numbers aren't complete yet
