My bad, I thought you were joking about the Xav/NC game.

If I were being fair, I'd rank UNC around #10, based on results only.  Once the season plays out, UNC could and should play itself back into the top 3-4 teams in the country, if their talent is as advertised, but to be 5-2, right now, I can't rank them so lofty on name alone, and give them a mulligans b/c they gave a good effort v. Kentucky, and for laying an egg v. UNLV.  If Syracuse were 5-2 with UNC's schedule we would be around #11-12, not #4.

There's too much bias from the voters based on preseason hype. Just look at the 2009-10 UNC team. Preseason Top 5, overhyped, got destroyed by Syr, and ended up in the NIT that year with like 15 losses... And how about Mich. St from 2010-11? Preseason #2, tremendous talent - overhyped and ended up w/ 14-15 losses and deserved an NIT bid.  So until UNC proves it on the court to me throughout the year, I'm selling the heels short.

My Top 10 based on performance:

1. Kentucky
2. Ohio St
3. Syr
4. Mizzou
5. Baylor
6. Xavier
7. Marquette
8. L'ville
9. Duke
10. UNC
