Here are mine
ACC: Miami over SMU
Big 12: Texas Tech over Utah
Big 10: Oregon over Ohio State
SEC: Texas over LSU
What are you conference champions preseason predictions?
Celtics. These teams hate each other and is a huge rivalry
Cavaliers. Eastern Conference Finals rematch. The Cavs want revenge after being embarrassed by the Knicks
Pacers. The last team win beat the Knicks in a playoff series and this is a big rivalry.
Pistons. A team that owned the Knicks in the regular season and want revenge for the first round of the 2025 nba playoffs
Hawks. The only team this playoffs to beat the Knicks multiple times in a playoff series
Honorable mention: Wizards because of Trae Young
East
Pistons: 24, Celtics: 34, Knicks: 42, Cavaliers: 34, Raptors: 6, Hawks: 16, 76ers: 23, Magic: 22, Hornets: 10, Heat: 11, Bucks: 21, Bulls: 7, Nets: 1, Pacers:4, Wizards: 3
West
Thunder: 38, Spurs: 36, Nuggets: 31, Lakers: 42, Rockets: 33, Timberwolves: 34, Suns: 17, Trail Blazers: 13, Clippers: 28, Warriors: 40, Pelicans: 2, Mavericks: 27, Grizzlies: 10, Kings: 7, Jazz: 3
The Raptors got screwed. How did they get less prime time games than horrible teams like the Bulls and Kings.
How do you guys feel about it?
If Texas Tech football keeps Sorsby, then the other conferences will cancel their games against all Texas Tech athletic sports, including men’s basketball. That means that they won’t play good team in the non con and their net rating would be horrible going into conference play.
Surprise teams: 9-3 Illinois, 11-2 Utah, 9-3 Kansas State
Disappointment Teams: 8-4 Oklahoma, 8-4 Texas A&M, 8-4 USC
Imagine Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Cameron Boozer all on the same team. The ACC and most college basketball teams would be cooked.
Some hot takes of mine are that
Georgia goes 10-2 but misses the playoffs and throws a tantrum over it
Utah goes 11-2 and goes to the playoffs
Texas A&M beats Texas but goes 8-4
Illinois goes 9-3
Multiple 10-2 teams miss the playoffs

I made a mistake but let me explain. I used a college football simulator and I got Alabama vs LSU in the SEC con championship game but when I used a second one, I got Texas vs LSU. The second simulator is right because it has Ohio State vs Oregon which is correct but the first one has Indiana vs Ohio State, which is wrong.
Lets have Texas get revenge on LSU
So Texas is 11-2 with their best wins being against LSU in the conference championship game, 10-3 Ohio State, 9-3 Ole Miss, and a 9-3 Tennessee
LSU is still 10-3 with wins against Alabama and Texas in the regular season
Alabama is 10-2 with their best win being against Georgia and a 8-4 Texas A&M
So update your rankings
