TGIF 'Nova Nation! ESPN (Insider) has a pretty good article below about the expectations for parity - or a lack thereof - for this coming season. Last year was one of the most entertaining in recent memory because so many teams were at or near the same level.
ESPN says not to expect this again, with a few teams likely to separate from the pack. Your Villanova Wildcats are one of them. Good times!
FWIW, I tend to always disagree with this analysis. Short of the 'super teams' that Kentucky and Duke can put out, it just always feels like this is an overblown sentiment.
