Look at Parrish’s CBS poll where he predicts:

OUR CEILING:
Kentucky
  • Coach: John Calipari
  • 2017-18 record: 26-11
  • Notable players definitely gone: Kevin Knox, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Hamidou Diallo, Wenyan Gabriel, Jarred Vanderbilt, Sacha Killeya-Jones, Tai Wynyard
  • Other expected departures: None
  • Notable players expected to return: PJ Washington, Quade Green, Nick Richards, Brad Calipari, Jemarl Baker
  • Expected additions: Keldon Johnson, Immanuel Quickly, Tyler Herro, E.J. Montgomery
  • Why the Wildcats are ranked here: Two of the top five scorers -- specifically PJ Washington and Quade Green -- are back from a team that advanced to the Sweet 16. Combine that with the nation's No. 2 recruiting class (that will improve if/when five-star Class of 2019 guard Ashton Hagans reclassifies), and the Wildcats are worthy of yet another preseason top-five rating. And if Stanford transfer Travis Reid enrolls, as expected, watch out. A second national title is in play for John Calipari

YOUR CEILING:
#10 Auburn



    • Coach: Bruce Pearl
    • 2017-18 record: 26-8
    • Notable players definitely gone: Mustapha Heron, Davion Mitchell, Desean Murray
    • Other expected departures: None
    • Notable players expected to return: Bryce Brown, Austin Wiley, Danjel Purifoy, Jared Harper, Chuma Okeke, Anfernee McLemore, Horace Spencer, Malik Dunbar
    • Expected additions: Samir Doughty
    • Why the Tigers are ranked here: The Tigers are losing Mustapha Heron to transfer, which is surprising. But they were expected to lose him anyway, one way or another, so the end result is the same. And, even with that development, Auburn is still returning six of the top eight scorers from a team that shared the SEC regular-season title last season. So another league championship is very much a possibility.
Read the last line and know your place.

There’s plenty of polls out there. Some have AU #1. Pretty good ceiling.

Read his list and each team’s description sounds like a creepy old dude’s Craigslist ad.

My God. You're right. [roll] I didn't even take the time to read the descriptions of the teams included in that poll, so I initially missed the tranny and 30-year-old prison ballers references.

So this Auburn guy spends his time on a Kentucky message board, making multiple accounts, posting obviously ignorant and blatant garbage?

That’s....... cool??????

When Travis commits to UK we will probably move into number 1 or 2, Kansas is HELLA overrated this year, surprise.

We are gonna wax the absolute dog pee out of Duke that first game, they're nowhere near the level of us with hagans and Reid. No one is. UK WILL BE the heavy favorite once people see the teams play some games. KU will be a contender, though not as good as UK either and after they ended up losing much more than I expected I really don't understand the love they're getting. We return more AND are bringing more in, Nevada is the other contender. The title will come from one of these three teams with UK being the most likely. But these 3 teams are head and shoulders ahead of the rest of the field and it's not even close honestly.

It goes.
1. UK
2. Nevada
3. KU
4. Gonzaga/Maybe Duke? I just don't see how they'll be that great with absolutely zero big men OR shooters.

DreDay247 is going to give @caneintally a run for most optimistic poster in 2018, could break cane’s streak.

Once we get Reid, I’m going to be very very excited. Is this the year? Sure feels like it.

Nevada isn't winning jack. I know that much to that one poster. They can be an overrated team up there like Gonzaga. Fine by me, but they are a fraud.
