How Do Preseason Ratings Affect Preseason Predictions?

Purdue was actually in my preseason top 25. So so even though they weren't in the AP preseason top 25, maybe that bodes a little better for them in terms of being a more legitimate threat to go deep in their bracket. But yeah, Marquette, I would have some questions about because they too are like an imbalanced, you know, offense defense type of team. Are you going to argue or should you update your ratings more from round around than you typically would during the regular season? Yeah, possibly.
