Time to get the college talk going. The season is right around the corner. What teams will improve from last year? Which will fall back? My predictions:

Teams on the rise: (At least relative to last year)

Northwestern (Top 6 team this year)
Duke (Should make the NCAAs?)
USC (Continues to improve)

Moving down:

Notre Dame (just not that good)
BC (If no Kent)
SB (3 second rule back to major foul. Big deal for them.)
