We all here hate to speculate over how the final standings will look like but I can’t help but feel like Michigan State is playing well enough to warrant my prediction they will be in the Final Four this season (without injuries of course). Miami (FL) also looks pretty good this season but what worries me is that North Carolina really has not been tested yet.
