Seeing #10, #11, and #23 losing to lower ranked teams at home tonight, I am starting to wonder whether this is really a wide open season.   (let's hope I didn't jinx it for TT).   Let me explain.

There are two logical viewpoints and I am not sure where I lean.  It will certainly be more clear by end of January.

View #1 - All these results indicate that the season is wide open and that everybody is vulnerable.   Anybody in a 1-4 seed line has a decent chance for the title.

View #2 -  This season is actually not wide open.   There are only 3 or 4 really good teams, and the results this season just indicate that there is too much mediocrity after them.    Most of the top 25 teams are quite mediocre including most of the current top 10 (Arizona St, Xavier, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Virginia, Wichita St, Kansas).   By mid February there will be an even clearer divide between Duke, Villanova, Michigan St (and maybe add or delete one team) as compared to the rest of the country.

Your thoughts?  I am starting to think Duke, Villanova, and Michigan St are way better than the rest.   But if the season trends like it has I will be proved wrong within a month.
