No Bill Self didn't announce that he will be wearing a manzier this season. I am just watching this outstanding Seinfeld episode as I type, waiting for Pedro to take the hill at Yankee Stadium.

On to a more relevant subject to tackle, USA Today has released their preseason Coaches Poll. What follows is a brief synopsis, knee-jerk reactions if you will, to the season's first Top 25.

1. Kansas - Feels just like it should
   
2. Michigan State - Feels just like it did last April
   
3. Texas - Feels different way up here so early
   
4. North Carolina - Received one first place vote, and Roy Williams isn't on the Board of Coaches
   
5. Kentucky - Dick Vitale says UK should be ranked higher
   
6. Villanova - We're still not sure if this team got better this season, despite its bevy of guards
   
7. Purdue - Will be a disappointing year if they finish this low
   
8. Duke - A generous 8 at that
   
9. West Virginia - Maybe too high to call them a Final Four sleeper?
   
10. Butler - Tops in the non-BCS world
    
11. Tennessee - Comes on the heels of Josh Tabb leaving school yesterday
12. California - Looking down at the only Pac 10 team that can challenge them
    
13. Washington - Looking up at the only Pac 10 team that can challenge them
    
14. Connecticut - Much more dangerous than people think
    
15. Michigan - Suck on that Rich Rod!
    
16. Oklahoma - Highest ranked team from the Sooner state...for now
    
17. Ohio State - We love Evan Turner this season
    
18. Minnesota - Doesn't mitigate the loss of Gopher Wide Receiver Eric Decker
    
19. Mississippi State - An enigmatic enigma
    
20. Georgia Tech - This team is "long," I presume Jay Bilas loves them
    
21. Georgetown - Not a lot of chatter about the Hoyas to date
    
22. Dayton - Flyer fans are likely elated about this
    
23. Louisville - Wait, everyone knows about that game against (D2) Georgetown right?
    
24. Clemson - Licensed to fail
    
25. Syracuse - In other news, I just bought the rights to WheretheHellisDevo.com
