2016-2017 College Basketball Season Preview

NCAA-BasketballIf the fall season was not awesome enough with the NFL, college football humming along AND the NBA season just kicking off, God blessed us with the return of college basketball.

Won’t He do it!  I said, WON’T HE DO IT!!!

Well, given the fact that a) I have a day job, which means that b) I’m not getting paid for it, I’m going to offer a brief, high-level preview of the major conferences – in order of predicted finish.

And no, I’m not going to do EVERY conference because fans don’t give a damn about every single conference, and neither do I.  So if you do not see your favorite conference below, oh well.  And if you don’t like it, sue me.
