Recent reports indicate that about eight of the top 25 teams in the tournament lost their spots over the previous weekend, leading to questions about whether the situation can be classified as chaotic. However, the balance in college basketball is evident.
Currently, no major conference has a clear front runner. The silver lining is that there is still time for significant changes in the upcoming weeks. It’s an ideal moment to assess what is true and what is not in college basketball.
The recent Associated Press poll hasn’t settled the debate on which team deserves the title of the best in the country. There are multiple teams in consideration. This week, Tennessee’s win over Arkansas in Knoxville by a substantial 30-point margin caught attention.
Kansas was the last team to defeat Tennessee at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Since then, Tennessee has also beaten five top-100 teams on KenPom.com, including Gonzaga. Gonzaga faced a tough challenge and almost lost to Alabama on Saturday.
Arguments can be made, but Tennessee is currently making a strong case for the top team in the nation. Virginia’s first loss of the year came against Duke on Saturday, causing them to drop a few spots in the rankings.
