End of November Top 25

[ericd7633]

Post your top 25 at the present time. I do mine a little differently in that I do mine similar to the S-Curve. And basically mock how the committee would have their top 25. Sort of like a bracket projection, only that it's a top 25 instead of a bracket.

1. Michigan State
2. Arizona
3. Wisconsin
4. Syracuse
5. Oklahoma State
6. Ohio State
7. Kentucky
8. Villanova
9. Kansas
10. Connecticut
11. Wichita State
12. North Carolina
13. Louisville
14. Duke
15. Iowa State
16. Oregon
17. UCLA
18. Florida
19. Iowa
20. Massachusetts
21. Baylor
22. Dayton
23. Gonzaga
24. Illinois
25. Butler

It's obviously early, so total resume can't be the only thing to factor in. For example Duke's RPI is 88 right now. That obviously wouldn't get them in the tournament, but since it's this early in the process, there has to be a little human element to the rankings thus I have them in the top 15.

11. UConn
12. UCLA
13. Oregon
14. Kansas

20. Illinois
21. Gonzaga
22. Florida

- Wow tough to say this early. Pretty much just went by how teams have looked. Duke was the toughest for me. Havent really beaten anyone decent but looked OK in their 2 losses. IF KU hadnt got beat by Nova yesterday Id likely have Duke 10 spots higher.

To be fair its not really the end of November til tomorrow Iowa-Nova tonight should be fun. I personally ( albeit with maybe a TINY amount of bias ) think Iowa is going to stomp out the Cats.

Cincinnati is vastly underrated. You'll see.

They are damn good. It's early. Teams take time to mesh.

November is a big month for a teams like Iowa and Villanova getting those key wins to prove they belong.

Guys like Self, Izzo, Pitno make sure their teams are peaking heading towards march(although Kansas has had their share of NCAA tourney chokes).

Nice choke job by iowa tonight blowing a 15 point lead and losing in ot. Nova made some big shots though so props to them.
