Current Top 20 NCAA

(Breaks are where there are larger breaks in the rankings)
1) Kansas
2) Duke (How they're ahead of Cuse? but top 5 I can still see)
3) Syracuse

4) Texas
5) BYU (loss to New Mexico doesn't hurt as much as I thought it might)
6) West Virginia

7) Wisconsin and Purdue
9) Kentucky (overrated. Terrible on the road, does not bode well in March)
10) Kansas St
11) Villanova

12) Tennessee
13) Missouri
14) Michigan St
15) Ohio St
16) Georgetown
17) Maryland
18) Clemson (slumping, but to be expected in the ACC if you aren't Duke or Carolina)

19) Baylor
20) Marquette

Georgia Tech, California and Minnesota are right after those last two. At present Bracketology doesn't have Minnesota or Marquette even in the field and has Maryland as a 13 seed. It's pretty fluid out there in late January, but ouch.

Overrated watch: North Carolina isn't even in my NCAA field now, even with the NC St win the other day on the road. UConn win over Texas puts them back in the top 30. Their ranking doesn't look as absurd now. Gonzaga looks like the next team on the chopping block for "overrated-ness"

Ivy League might be able to get two teams in. Doesn't happen very often.
