Bruce Pearl’s squad is young, but immensely talented. They should be the best in the SEC. |

They fell to Michigan, a team they beat by 15, in Ann Arbor. Shooting 7-33 from downtown, it was probably the worst game Duke will play this season. |

Not sure how they lost by 14 against Western Kentucky. It is tough to gauge this team, who won’t face a formidable opponent until Minnesota on December 20th. |

Definitely the surprise of the season so far. We’ll get to see how good they are on December 20th when they face Duke. |

They have come up short in their two biggest games, but they’ll get better as the season goes on. They have an interesting match up against Davidson on December 20th. |

Looked better at Texas than against Michigan, both losses. The Pac 10 comes down to them Arizona State and USC. |

Never thought I’d see a 35 point blowout of a Tom Izzo team. The bad news is Goran Suton, their top rebounder is out for about a month. Good news is that Izzo’s team generally peak in March. |

It’s tough to tell how good this team is. Match ups against Syracuse and Georgetown should be a good measuring stick. |

Past their first test by beating Wisconsin. They are the 8th Big East Team in these power rankings. That’s just crazy. |
