The Hype Continues - Collection of Predictions

I love the month of October, basketball season is set to begin and the sports world experts & blog sites go into a frenzy with predictions for the upcoming season!  I know many fans who detest predictions and pre-season rankings, believing they will ultimately lead to despair if their team fails to achieve or surpass the hype.  But I enjoy the hype, the hopes, the idea that others' believe as strongly in my team as I do.  So for those similar to me, below are several links to Gonzaga's predictions for the upcoming season:

Pre-Season Rankings:
NBC Sports - Gonzaga ranked 19

Athlon Sports - Gonzaga ranked 21

Sporting News - Gonzaga ranked 21

Hoop Vision - Gonzaga ranked 19

Player Rankings:

Final Four Predictions:

Miscellaneous:

So what are your thoughts for the upcoming season?  Will Gonzaga live up to any of the hype or expert opinions?  Will we exceed expectations and have a magical run like 1999 or is it not in the cards for this season?
