Good year for the little guys?

The Score just came out with their Way Too Early Top 25, and it is fairly representative of the other such predictions so far this off-season. (Let's hope the off-season doesn't become the season.) The thing that first catches you eye is that three of the top four teams are from non-Power Five conferences: Gonzaga, Creighton, and San Diego State. All of those are familiar names in recent years, but none of them is from a football power conference. Then you throw in the fact that #5 is Villanova from the Big East, and the scene is really top-loaded with programs that are not football powerhouses. Of course, it may not end up that way, but part of the fun of being a sports fan in a free country is that your guess is as good as anyone's - until reality happens.
