College Basketball Rankings - 23 Nov

College basketball season has been going for 10 days now, so I'm posting my first rankings of the regular season. Most teams stayed somewhat close to their preseason rankings, but there have been a few surprises, including undefeateds UTEP, Louisiana Tech, and Sacramento State. Here are my first full rankings of the season:

The Cincinnati Bearcats are at #1 in my rankings after starting the season 4-0 and winning each of those games by at least 25 points, and have been winning by an average margin of 42.25 points. They haven't played a very tough schedule, but Bowling Green is a decent team, and they beat the Falcons on the road by 33 points, but we will get to see just how good they are when they play Butler next week.

Villanova has also had a hot start to the season, rushing out to a 4-0 record, and they have beaten a couple of better teams than the Bearcats have, taking down both Nebraska and Akron by double digits. The Wildcats were also in my preseason top 10, so it's no surprise to see them playing this well, and they will be tested several times in December, with 3 games against ranked teams upcoming.
