Speaking of the UNC Texas game... Anyone who says they've got UNC figured out is full of shit. Quantum mechanics is easier to comprehend.

I thought the virtuosity of the UNC player's flop (despite an obvious second's hesitation after realizing no contact was made when he lowered his face close to flailing Texas elbows at game end) was world class.

All he got for his performance was a technical...
shoulda copped a Tripucka.

Arizona and UNC have the best wins so far. Problem is UNC also has bad losses.

no offense, but...UNC's "best wins" stand alone here;
I'd go so far as to say that UNC also has the "worst losses" this year.

Arizona is #1 because they're the "best team" in the country.

Wisconsin has better wins than Zona IMO but UNC has by far the best wins. Too bad they cant beat anyone unless they are a top 15 team... LOL

shaping up to be an exciting finish in Providence...The Friars and Seton Hall remain tied after the first overtime...

...however....

I can't help but be bothered by broadcast team. They have both a female play-by-play and analyst, which I'm sure is a historic first of some degree and commend them well for accomplishing it. But the fact of the matter is that they're just not very good. Announcers have the power to take a good game and make it captivating. Gus Johnson is the best at this. These two leave a lot to be desired, there excitement level just seems forced...where as the best announcers national passion for the game they cover usually comes out.

Two underrated teams right there, if Oregon can split that two-step I'd be impressed

I agree. Utah's only loss is @ BSU. But their schedule is suspect. Colorado's has two losses but also a win over Kansas.

Oregon coming out with a win at both places would really up the ante when them and Arizona meet.

As far as Utah is concerned, losing at Boise State by two isn't a terrible loss. Delon Wright and Jordan Loveridge are legit players they should make it very interesting against Oregon

Earlier in the day, Oklahoma State announced they would be without Cobbins for tearing the MCL. Now it's reported that Stevie Clark was arrested for pot possession.

Smart will get his. I'm surprised he didn't go pro last year.
