New rankings out with surprise, surprise - Kentucky at No 1. UNC with 1 loss drop out of the top 10. My VCU after 2 losses drop out of top 25. Kentucky have no 6 Texas next (a lucky Texas who only won their last game via a Hail Mary), the UNC on Dec 13 (both at home). Then Louisville away on Dec 27. A side note re Louisville - I notice that Kevin Ware, "famous" for breaking his leg in the 13-14 Final 4 game, has transferred out of Louisville. I hope he gets back to his best.
As for UNC, in addition to No 1 Kentucky, the ACC has 3 in the top 10, and you play Duke & Louisville twice! Best of Luck!
Still early days - conference play starts later this month - but West Virginia still remains the biggest surprise in my opinion. Also a bit "shocked" to see Wichita & Gonzaga around the top 10.
Big game this week is Duke Vs Wisconsin (4 Vs 2). Don't see these types of games much early in the season, but as much as it irks me, I'm tipping Duke (now I'll have to take a long shower to cleanse myself). Tipping 2 upsets - The Fighting Illini (24) to beat Miami (15) away & the unranked Syracuse to beat no 17 Michigan. Time will tell!
