5. Maryland
Jordan Williams averaged 9.6 points and 8.6 rebounds last season, had 18 points and seven rebounds (in 22 minutes) in Monday's exhibition, and could have a huge sophomore season that could make him a legitimate NBA prospect. But will it be enough to keep the Terps near the top of the ACC? Honestly, probably not. They lost their top three scorers -- Greivis Vasquez, Landon Milbourne and Eric Hayes -- off a roster that tied Duke for the ACC title, and that's difficult to replace. But Maryland will be a little better than most expect (once again) and make the NCAA tournament (once again). NCAA tournament? Yes
