Earlier today we got the a list of (some of) the classic teams in March Madness 08. Now IGN has posted up the top five rated players at each position in the game.
IGN also mentions the release date as December 11th. This coincides with the producer blog that mentioned that date as well. However everything else has stated December 18th. I will try and get confirmation one way or the other. (Update) Right now there appears to be no certainty around whether it will be the 11th or the 18th.
