Dropped From Rankings

Georgia Tech 22, Cincinnati 25.


Kansas is considered the best team, but from what I’ve seen I think Texas is playing the best right now. Syracuse is also balling right now having gotten a couple first place votes this week and sitting at # 5. Don’t sleep on Coach Huggy bear and the Mountaineers either. They’ve got some ballers. If you haven’t seen Devin Ebanks and Da’Sean Butler yet, you should. WVU hasn’t played anyone that good yet, but it will be interesting to see them in their first real test.

I would say St John’s should be in the top 25 instead of weak-ass Gonzaga and Butler, but they just lost to fucking Cornell! UNLV should be in the top 25 with some good wins over Pitt, Louisville and Arizona. Trouble is those all came at home.
Gotta win on the road to move up the rankings. Look for the Runnin’ Rebels to make some moves in the coming weeks though.

The A-10 is looking much stronger this year. Temple is currently ranked, Xavier was ranked at one point, and Charlotte, Dayton and Rhode Island are all getting votes for the Top 25. Richmond is even sportin’ wins over Mississippi State, Mizzou and Florida! Go A-10! 3 teams in the tourney this year? 4? Should be fun to watch.

Happy Holidays, all! Be back next week!
