So this is something I will be doing for now on, my top 25 in College Basketball. I will also do this when College Football season comes around.

Official Poll.
__
1. Kansas - They have been deserving all year, with the Morris brothers and others like Selby, this team can't be stopped.
2. Ohio State - This team just showed me yesterday against Indiana that they aren't ALL Jared Sullinger... just mostly. But with only two points from him in the first half, they were already well on their way for a route. (BTW: I HATE OSU)
3. Duke - They might have the most stars and future NBA stars. Singler, Smith, Irving, Plumlee, Curry, etc., can easily cut down the nets. (BTW: I HATE DUKE)
4. Brigham Young - All I can say is this: IT'S JIMMER-MANIA!!!
5. Texas - A very well-rounded team, maybe even the most in the country. They play solid offense and defense, and have a very good chemistry too.
6. Notre Dame - Surviving in the Big East is NEVER easy, and as I am writing this, Notre Dame is beating a currently ranked team by around 30 points. Wow.
7. Pittsburgh - Again, surviving the Big East is NEVER easy, but even though they may have 1 or 2 more quality wins than Notre Dame, Notre Dame did win their only head-to-head matchup. In addition, they also lost their previous game.
8. Purdue - JuJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore are unstoppable, and with two recent wins against Wisconsin and Ohio State, they need to be high up.
9. Wisconsin - They are the most efficent team in the country (like actually), they commit around one turnover per game, and have only allowed 70 points once all year (letting up 70 to Purdue in a loss). But I can't rank them ahead of Purdue, even though they beat both Ohio State and Purdue at home, compared to losing their most recent matchup versus Purdue (on the road). (BTW: I LOVE THIS TEAM)
10. Lousiville - A pretty good team, but not incredible. but with recent wins against Pittsburgh, Connecticut, and Syracuse, you can never count out a Rick Pitino team.
11. North Carolina - After being ranked so high, and falling so hard, they have pulled their act together. Harrison Barnes (their freshman-feenom), finally developed like they thought he would, and Zeller and Henson are still playing great. Even with Larry Drew II quitting the team, UNC still prevails. (BTW: I LOVE THIS TEAM)
12. St. John's - This might be a little bit of a shock, as they were #25 last week, and moved up to #15 this week. But the most wins for a team against ranked opponents is 6, and St. John's currently holds that title. Knocking off Georgetown, Notre Dame, Duke, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, and Villanova; watch out for St. John's.
13. Syracuse - Knocking off two extremely talented teams in a row in Villanova and Georgetown, Syracuse is a scary team to play for all.
14. San Diego State - Maybe THE MOST OVERRATED team in the country. They have one of the weakest schedules I have ever seen, and the two tough games they played (both against BYU), they lost by over 10 points. However, unlike every other team in the nation, they have not slipped up against an unranked team.
15. Florida - The best team in what I think is the weakest AQ division. They did beat the other two good teams in that division in Kentucky and Vanderbilt, but they recently lost to Kentucky also, and have a VERY bad loss to Jacksonville.
16. Connecticut
17. Georgetown
18. Arizona
19. Kentucky
20. Villanova
21. Vanderbilt
22. Missouri
23. Utah State
24. Texas A&M
25. Kansas State

When I do this in the future, I will explain for 1-10, but I just had to say that I love UNC, and I have them at #11, so I decided to go to #15
