Texas A&M. I know that both myself and CB32 are in love with Acie Law IV. He's a big game guy, carries this team. Unlike many other teams, they actually have an identity, know how to play within themselves, and win games. I won't be surprised one bit if the make the Final Four.

Well, I meant really last and this season.....nobody know Tyler Hansbrough was going to be that good, and within two years, they are a top team again...which really isnt uncommon for a powerhouse like them.

I don't really get it. Still though, it was pretty obvious by now they would be in the top 10, I mean they get a top 5 recruiting class every year and them and Duke get 95% of the McDonalds All Americans. My comeback team would definitely not be them given their recruiting class they get every year.It is more of an amazement when you see teams that don't get the best recruiting classes and all the All Americans. They rely on players overlooked and transfers. Not being a homer or anything, but Oklahoma State last year was thought to be horrible. It was supposedly going to be JamesOn Curry and a bunch of beginners, but they got some good transfers and a few good recruits and turned out to have a decent year. One of those transfers was 300 and something pounder Mario Boggan who turned out really good.Not saying they were my comeback team last year, just providing an example.
Well, just because its expected doesn't mean your not a comeback team...you still cameback nevertheless.
Surprise: Texas A&MDominator: UNC (few recent losses but they've blown out many a legit team)Disappointment: Washington, Duke, Kentucky
Surprise: Texas A&M, DrexelDominate: UNC, OSUDisappointments: Duke, Texas(in the beginning of the year)
I honestly am baffled at how A&M could be a surprise to much of anyone. Beat a #5 seed last year, 4 of 5 starters back, not any other particularly strong teams in the Big 12 except Kansas.
