With a few notable exceptions, when a lower-level team has a great run in the NCAA tournament, they tend to be ranked highly in the early polls the following season - regardless. That is true even if most of the pundits thought their tournament performance was somewhat of a one-time fluke.
So this year, is Loyola over-ranked? Probably. They have the advantage of being the class of their conference, and so they probably will win a lot of games during the regular season. And we know that Porter Moser is a good coach. But the glow is still there from their wonderful performance last season, and that is what the prognosticators are still seeing. I think Loyola is good, but I doubt that they are worthy of Top 25 ranking at this point in the season. But we shall see. I hope I am wrong.
