Preseason is premature

The injured Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina and Stephen Curry of Davidson were named to the Associated Press preseason All-America team Monday, earning this response from “bsee65” at ESPN.com:

“Preseason All-America? You’re kidding, right? Let’s let these guys earn it on the court.”

The rest of the team: Luke Harangody of Notre Dame, Darren Collison of UCLA and Blake Griffin of Oklahoma.

Agreed. Not unlike preseason polls. Why even rank teams until at least 1/3 of the way through a season? College football top 25s should not come out until mid-October, and college hoops until January.
