College Basketball Rankings - 24 Nov

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have been blowout kings so far this season, winning 3 times by at least 40 points, with the only "close" win coming by 16 points against SMU, which was ranked #15 in my preseason rankings. They are playing Georgia tonight in their second test of the season, but I expect the Zags to ace this test as well. Here are this week's full rankings:

Duke has been as awesome as always, starting out the season with two wins of more than 50 points, followed by a sweep through the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, including an opening round win over Michigan State, another perennial powerhouse. The Blue Devils next test comes on December 3rd, when they travel to Wisconsin to face my preseason #1 in a huge matchup.

Wisconsin dropped from #1 to #3, not because the Badgers haven't played well, but due to the brilliance of the two teams that passed them. The biggest difference has been that Wisconsin still hasn't played a ranked team, so the 4-0 start with big wins in each is a little tougher to gauge, but I believe they just may take out Duke next week.

Pick of the Day


TCU

The Horned Frogs are playing Mississippi Valley State tonight, the second-worst team in the country, so a home game for a decent team should equal a very easy win.
