I’m in the middle of my preseason work, but I’ve also got us 17th at the moment, slightly ahead of Northwestern. Torvik has us 18th, just behind Washington. Big Ten is very balanced…being last is still about the 75-80th best team.

Great. We’re going to suck again.

If the coach can get PSU to any post season this year, (and I think he has a good shot), that is a major step forward for the program.

I was wondering when we'd see an Exhibition game added...

Men’s Basketball to Play Lafayette in Charity Exhibition Game at Lebanon Valley College on Oct. 25

FWIW, Lafayette is 289th in Torvik's preseason numbers

So we play at UCLA Saturday February 8th, followed by at USC on Tuesday February 11th.
So does the team just remain in LA so not to fly cross country twice in less than a week?

Exactly...that's how the conference set it up for everyone, as you'll either play at UCLA/USC back-to-back, or at Washington/Oregon.

Pomeroy dropped his ratings yesterday, and he's more bullish on PSU that most. He's got us at 61st overall, and 16th in the Big Ten. Projecting us at 18-12 (excluding the 2nd game in Daytona), and 9-11 in the B1G. Shockingly, he's got Rutgers behind us. Our offense is projected at 60th in the country, and defense projected at 63rd.
