Haven't really watched anybody but Bama so far, but this team isn't a threat at all to be the #1 overall seed like last year's team.
Should be good enough to be a tournament team, maybe even in the 4-6 seed range, but there's a pretty good dropoff from last year's team. Offensively this team will occasionally get hot and light some teams up, but the defense is going to be a YUGE dropoff from last year. You can't replace the Miller/Clowney/Bediako length with smaller and slower players and not have a drop off.
I don't want to read too much into a single early season loss, but this team has a lot of growing to do if they want to make any noise.
