Another day, another major college conferrence preseason poll is out.

North Carolina was the pick to win the ACC title although it was hardly unanimous at North Carolina received 15 first-place votes, second-place Maryland was picked first by 11 voters and No. 3 Duke had 14 No. 1 votes. Virginia, selected fourth, picked up the other two first-place votes.

Maryland senior guard Kristi Toliver was the preseason player of the year while her Maryland teammate Lynetta Kizer was named preseason rookie of the year.

The Big East media day in Thursday and with 15 of the top 19 scorers from the 2007-08 season returning, 10 of the top 12 rebounders, I don't envy the Big East coaches job of coming up with 10-12 players on the preseason All-Big East team.

The first nine picks seem to be no-brainers:
Maya Moore, Renee Montgomery and Tina Charles of UConn, Rutgers' Epiphanny Prince and Kia Vaughn, Louisville's Angel McCoughtry, Krystal Ellis of Marquette, South Florida's Shantia Grace and Shavonte Zellous of Pittsburgh. If they go with 11 players as they did a year ago, there are no lack of choices including UConn's Kalana Greene, Deirdre Naughton of DePaul, Chandrea Jones, Erica Morrow and Nicole Michael all of Syracuse, Villanova's Laura Kurz, Louisville's Candyce Bingham, Ashley Barlow of Notre Dame, Seton Hall's Noteisha Womack, Monique McLean of St. John's and Cincinnati's Kahla Roundbush and Jill Stephens.

If it was up to me, I would lean towards Naughton and one of the Syracuse players, likely Morrow but fortunately for the Big East, I don't have a say in the process.
