Top 25 Shakedown

The list of unbeatens is down to two. Just Kansas and Memphis hold that precious zero in the loss column after UNC lost to Maryland last night by a score of 82-80. Many thought that UNC would be undefeated the longest due to their big men and their depth. Personally, I like Memphis. Nobody is able to keep up with them up and down the floor for two full halves. Or maybe this is just Kansas' year. We all remember what kind of run their football program had. Lets just hope that their basketball team doesn't stall at the end of the year, although Kansas' football team definately showed that they were for real in their bowl game. But I guarantee you that Kansas and Memphis will both give up their perfect regular season records for a national title in a heart beat.
The Top 25 will have some re-sorting to do after this week, although most of it has to do with Saturday's games. Seven of the top 25 lost on Saturday including 1 UNC, 4 UCLA, 9 Texas A&M, 15 Mississippi, 16 Pitt, 24 Miami (FL), 25 Arizona State. It seems obvious that Memphis will be 2 and Kansas will be 3. It will be interesting to see how far UNC and UCLA fall as well as who will be joining the top 25 since both 24 and 25 lost. I'm sure there will be plenty of talk until the new rankings come out so enjoy the havoc known as college basketball.
