I think it's possible that they are. Its also possible that they aren't a top 25 team. I even said that they look like they belong in the high teens to low twenties.
The AP had then at 12 before the Davidson game. They will likely be around 15 when the next poll comes out, but I don't see anything that screams "obvious top 10-15 team" to me. I just don't think they have anything resembling elite talent outside of Robinson.
The closest anyone has come to a rebuttal is pants who said that Johnson and Taylor had the talent to be very good.
I think Johnson is a nice role player, but Taylor looks like a train looking for a place to wreck. Then you've got Withey and Teahen rounding out your starting five.
I'm not sure that anyone other than Robinson would start on any team in the top 5, maybe the top 10. (As a Mizzou fan, if I could have any player on your team for this season other than T-Rob, I'd be tempted to take Withey. We need more size, but I still don't know if he would start.)
