I think Roy Williams has been consulting the Magic 8 ball all season, but keeps getting "try again later". Obviously graduation and NBA decimated them this year, but I think they'll be back in the top 15 next season - they have a lot of talent, but just seem completely disorganized this season trying to salvage what they can.

Appalachian State Mountaineers:
National Champions: 2005, 2006, and 2007 Southern Conference Champions: 1986, 1987, 1991, 1995, 1999, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! WE'RE GONNA SHOUT IT! NOTHING'S HOTTER THAN A-S-U!
