I'll just say the entire pac 10 conference....they are awful
Cincinnati is not a disppointment for this year. They were expected to finish 11th in the Big East, right now they are 8th.
Ohio State has not really been a disappointment. Most of their losses came without All-American Evan Turner.

well, i just expected them to beat some of the teams that have beat them. and turner was not even out for 5 games was he?

well, as a person who follows cincinnati somewhat i just maybe expected a little more with the addition of Lance Stephenson. Just maybe more consistant if you will. I expected them to beat the lower half of the big east teams.

Turner was out six games and Ohio State lost three of them. The Buckeyes have lost six total games and two since Turner has returned. I say they have been right on par with what was expected of them at the beginning of the season.
I would maybe even, put Michigan up a little higher. They have flopped big time.

As a person who knows the UC program very well (Alumni), I didn't expect one saviour to carry this team. They have gotten more consistent. They have increased their PPG and lessened their turnovers. They were predisted to be no higher than #11 in the conference, and they have a good chance to finish in the top 8. In the past four years, the top 7 teams from the conferecne have made the Big Dance. Considering they were a bubble coming into the season for the NIT, I'd say thus far in the season they are already much higher than anyone predicted.

I will definitely have to agree with that, they were pre-season ranked 16th I think it was, now they are 10-10 and in the middle of the pack in a sub-par Big10.
Cal and Washington was ranked at the beginning of the season from the Pac Ten. No Pac Ten is anywhere near the Top 25.
Here's mine top 10 flops:
1 UNC
2 UConn
3 Miss. St.
4 Washington
5 Minnesota
6 Louisville
7 Tennessee
8 Michigan
9 UCLA
10 Arizona

Looks good. I would replace Cincy with UCLA.
WKU has had a down year and I suppose the loss of Mendez-Valdez to graduation done a lot more damage than most thought it would.

Definately hurt them. I think they were preseason pick to win the conference but are near the bottom.
You cant forget Uconn they are disappointing this year
Michigan falls again tonight to Northwestern.... Really stuggling this year. And they were ranked 15th to start the year I believe.
