1/3 preview

Conference play is in full swing, so let's view one by one.  I'm not listing out every game featuring at least one good team; I'm going for high-impact here:

AAC:

SMU at Cincinnati in a ginormous game - winner probably gets pole position for the time being in the AAC

Tulane at Memphis - I don't believe in Tulane; we'll know more after this game

Big East:

Villanova at Seton Hall - SHU's signature win chance comes early in conference play

Butler at St John's - tough ask for Butler to get this one

Creighton at Georgetown - mandatory for G'town

B1G:

Minnesota at Maryland - let's find out if we need to be serious about Minnesota

Illinois at Ohio St - one of these teams is going to be in a big hole in the B1G after this

ACC:

Pittsburgh at NC State - two teams hovering around the bubble

Georgia Tech at Notre Dame - I don't think GT is real, they can change my mind here

Virginia at Miami - signature win chance for Miami

non-con:

UConn at Florida - when two desperate teams clash

Iowa St at South Carolina - don't believe in USC; they can obviously prove me wrong here

Big 12:

West Virginia at TCU - time for TCU to get exposed

Baylor at Oklahoma - the Big 12 season is going to be so brutal for so many
