College Basketball 2012-13 Pre-Season Field of 68

The College Basketball season starts this week as we embark on 4 months of jockeying that ultimately leads to 68 teams dancing in March.  Who will those 68 teams be?  If the past couple years are any indication, then it will be approximately 44 of the 68 teams I have below.  Their is beauty in collegiate sports, as we never know which freshman is going to make the biggest impact, or which upper-classmen is going to make that huge off-season leap from role-player to star.

Once again this season, Jabesblog will attempt to inform and lead you through the happenings of College Basketball.  It starts right now with my pre-season Field of 68.
