NCAA Top 25

After a few weeks of the college basketball season and all of the Thanksgiving weekend tournamentsI have noticed some things.

-We have seen some surprises such as Florida, UNLV, Oklahoma St., Portland and Marquette.

-The weekend was not kind to Butler and Michigan who both went from top 15 contender to 2 losses in the span of 4 days.

-I don't understand how Butler is still ranked in the AP and Coaches poll while Michigan is out. .

-Also in my poll I have Texas A&M and UNLV ranked ahead of the teams they beat this week. Texas A&M beat Clemson, while UNLV upset Louisville in Vegas.

-Michigan St., Tennessee and UConn lost this week but those 3 teams are still top 15 teams.


So here is my poll:
1. Kansas (5-0)

2. Texas (5-0)

3. Villanova (6-0)

4. Purdue (5-0)

5. Duke (6-0)

6. West Virginia (5-0)

Butler is far from "Hoosiers"

A small school from Indiana goes for the title against a well-known powerhouse. That's where the comparison ends between this year's Butler team and fictional Hickory High School in the movie Hoosiers. Butler coach Brad Stevens is not old school coach Norman Dale played by Gene Hackman. Stevens is only 33 years old and is one of the best young coaches in college basketball today. This Butler team is good. Very very good. They have won 25 straight games and haven't lost in the 2010 calendar year. They have a record of 33-4. The Bulldogs are far from underdogs. Just ask any team in the Horizon League. They can beat the big boys too. In fact, if they beat Duke tonight, they will have a win against a team from every BCS Conference except the SEC (they didn't play any teams from the SEC this year). But more than anything else, the casual fan will go into this game with the misconception that Butler is a team of corn fed Indiana white boys who will have to make up for ...
