College Basketball Power Rankings: Week 3
Week: | 1 | 2 | 3
Ending ( Dec 1-7)
Total Pro Sports - Sorry to all our readers as we missed week 2, enough of that lets get back to the sport we love NCAA College Basketball.
Can North Carolina book their hotel rooms for Detroit and the Final Four come early April? They are #1 in our College Basketball Power Rankings for week 3.
After a 98-63 thrashing of Michigan State at Ford Field, the site of the 2009 Final Four, UNC looks like the hands down favorite. The only question is who can challenge them? Not Duke who lost to Michigan. Not Louisville who lost to Western Kentucky. Could it be Pittsburgh? Only time will tell.

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. |

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. |

Tennessee isnt in the big east….
you pretty much lost your credibility once i saw that.
plus, you arnt including the Mich. Wolverines who beat your #8 and #16 but you are including Miami?? Their big win this year is against a very lackluster Kentucky team, and they didnt even put them away until the last minute of the game.
Thanks for making note the correction to the SEC was corrected, were all human and we do make mistakes.
In regards to the rankings this is how we feel the top 25 teams should be ranked, everyone is open to their opinion. We would def like to hear more of others people opinion.
thanks
Miami will make the NCAA tournament. Miami’s only losses come against an Ohio State team that just beat Notre Dame and UCONN team thats number 2 in the nation.
Michigan lost to Maryland and barely beat Savannah State, a team that lost 100-38 to Georgetown.
If Miami played Michigan my money would be on Miami.
