ESPN has just published Creme's "Way Too Early Top 25"  (on the heels of his brackatology yesterday). Pretty much mirrors the bracketology. Stanford is #2, but after that, next PAC-12 is way down, to Arizona at 18 and Oregon at 20.  Cites Jones and Brink as pre-season All Americans and possibly two of the top 5 players in the country.  Looking at this list, Stanford's non-conference schedule is looking more and more challenging.

Strange, but perhaps not strange when it's coming from Creme that he goes into great detail about incoming freshmen as well as front court/back court players for many other ranked teams, but only mentions Betts, but not Nivar or Lepolo.  Call it WCI (West Coast Ignorance).

Arizona will be higher, but Oregon (which plays so well in the PAC-12) has not performed to its talent in the NCAA Tourney the last 2 seasons.
