I can't tell you if any school is the best program in college basketball based on the eye test or resume.   I would probably not put Villanova number 1 because it lost to Oklahoma and Virginia.     But Oklahoma and Virginia have lost a few more games against just decent schools that Villanova has beat.

In terms of #1 -- I would go with Oklahoma as the #1 overall seed right now.  After that it's a pure pick'em for the next  3 seeds.   Also remember that the College Football Committee relies on power rankings as well.   And rankings such as KP, have Villanova #1.

The reason they have Villanova #1 in power rankings  is that they not played a bunch of nobodies.  The Big East is a respectable and very strong conference.

The resume test is pretty much a wash for anybody in the top 10 right now.  I agree the eye test is not that strong for Nova for me either -- bring em on.

But if the voting was done in a CFB type setting right now, why couldn't Nova be a #1 seed right now?    I think the 1 and 2 line could be picked out of a hat, except for Oklahoma.
