College Basketball Rankings - 4 Dec

College basketball season began 3 weeks ago, and there is enough data available for me to present my first rankings of the season. Many of the top teams are familiar, with Villanova at the top and Kansas, Duke, and North Carolina not far behind, but there are a couple of few 25 teams that were nowhere near the tournament last season. Here are my full current rankings:
