This is a pre-season top 15 team with Nance and an unranked team with a backup (read: mid-major) option if he stays in draft or plays elsewhere. We're just way too unproven up and down the lineup without a Nance on top of what's currently there.
Pre-season rank is mostly noise but at the same time it's nice for recruiting momentum.
Indiana is the preseason B10 Favorite now that they have TJD back. Lots of talent on the team. The biggest questionmark is what kind of winner Mike Woodson is capable of being at the collegiate level where player development is going to be key. He's well proven in the NBA, so my guess is he will be fine overall, but it's a different game in college.
