The skeptics are turning into believers!
Syracuse maintained its No. 1 overall spot in the polls; no surprise there. Last week, yours truly made the (surprisingly popular) argument that Ohio State might still have deserved to be No. 1, given that the Buckeyes dropped from the top spot after a hard-fought loss at Kansas in a game Jared Sullinger missed due to injury. The Orange hadn't gone on the road yet, with the exception of a couple of neutral-court wins in Madison Square Garden. They ended that streak this week, moving to 11-0 after an at-times-shaky but ultimately convincing and impressive road win at NC State. Given Syracuse's dominance in their first road game of the season, not to mention the undefeated record or the insanely deep, talented team you see when you tune into the 'Cuse, that No. 1 ranking is a little more difficult to dispute today. from ESPN Poll thoughts.
