I would've posted. 
My Illini are back in the top 25 and appear to be NCAA bound again. Duke lost recently, and NC has lost twice, so that makes me happy too.

Brutal schedule + no defense = bubble.

Did you see the first half they had against PITT?
but seriously if they can pull it together at the end of the year they could be tough.. They can shoot lights out.. But Harrangody is left hanging when they aren't hitting..

I thought UConn looked scary good against Louisville the other day at louisville.. There goes Louisville going undefeated in the Big East. Only Marquette is left..

The Big 12 seems down this year. Oklahoma is great, but after that Texas and Kansas are fairly watered down. I was surprised to see Missouri near the top too because Illinois destroyed them this year. Baylor and OK St. look poorly coached. And Pat Knight has got some issues at TX Tech.
And those are the "good" teams.

I bet you don't miss Gillespie too much.

The fact that Kansas is in the top 25 and 7-0 in conference with that team is also a testament to how good a coach Self is.
Why doesn't anyone like Blake Griffin? Seems like that guy takes more cheap shots than anyone in the country.

Any good games on this weekend? KU vs MU should be good on Monday night.

I cant remember how many times I was shaking my head at their gameplay early in the season. But they are finally showing a little discipline and their game is improving. Best example are the Morris twins who looked like community college players early, but are starting to take a lead roll in KU's offense. Bill Self is the MAN!

anyone following SMC? looked like a lock to get into the tourney and now lose Pat Mills. Definitely on the bubble unless they can beat Gonzaga the 2nd time around.

They're an interesting case. If they get Mills back in time for the NCAA, the committee might take that into account. Otherwise, getting blown out by Portland is bad news.

The Pac 10 is pretty weak. I enjoyed Tim Floyd's late night meltdown.
Illinois was down 14 with 5 minutes to go at Northwestern, but they win and are 21-5 ranked #18.
RPI is largely irrelevant until at least March.

I think you mixed up RPI with SOS for Georgetown. They are 37 in the RPI.
Other weird RPI's: Xavier 8, Utah 11
, West Virginia 13, Tennessee 18, Siena 31 
, Arizona 43, Miami 47, BC 51....Who's the better team: Miami (OH) or Penn State?

I don't think rankings for big name schools are very relevant either.

The Big 10 is plenty strong. And don't judge Penn St. by the whooping they'll get tonight from the Illini.
