Did you listen to his statement? Who is to say he is even wrong? I've heard Herbstreit say nearly the exact same thing this season(and previous ones). No team will be considered the best by everyone every year. Smith didnt go as far to say they didnt belong there, or backed in, or just downright insult the Bucks as many others in the media have...He just believes there may be better teams out there this season. Not that crazy..especially considering most Ohio State fans thought the same thing after losing Smith,Ginn,etc and this being a rebuilding year.
Hopefully the Bucks prove the doubters wrong!
