It should be OSU. #stillhopetobeat2#1'sOOC 
The experts have had Auburn #1 all year so nothing new really. Some meaningless poll who cares could be anybody.
Don't get used to it. Apparently it doesn't hold the value it used to.
Ohio State is undefeated and beat Villanova by 25, UNC by 25 (on the road), and Penn State by 32. Also, took down Cincinnati in the season opener. Hard to argue anyone being #1 outside of tOSU.
I don't think that any of those teams are actually good right now, but the way they've pummeled them has been impressive.
Ohio St will be #1 in the coaches poll at least.
Probably not any Final Four teams, but three very solid teams. And Cincinnati is decent, too. Here are their KenPom Rankings:
Villanova- #20
Penn State- #23
UNC- #24
Cincinnati- #51
not surprising that you think everyone sucks except for kansas and whoever kansas plays
Pissing our pants against duke with turnovers still irks me. No disrespect to dukes defense, but we had so many unforced errors in that one. Dotson looked like a High school player that night. I'd take a loss to a small school if you can replace it with a blue blood win.
I wouldn't. Losing to a weak midmajor at home shows serious flaws. Losing by 2 to one of the top teams in the country after spotting them 14 extra possessions is annoying, but also kind of promising. Sloppiness is one area that a team can and usually will improve as the year goes on.
If you're going to have an awful game, the first game of the year is the best time for it.
I just hope the Buckeyes can maintain this throughout the whole season and end up as a 1 or 2 seed come tourney time.
I have no problem with tosu being the number one team in the country. They have looked impressive and the only reason we are ranked ahead is preseason rankings. No qualms from this ku fan.
21 out of the last 30 title winners have been one seeds so it def improves the odds if you can snag one. Something tells me their will be plenty of shuffling at the top1-8
I'll give you $100 if you lose to a 16-seed by 21 points this year.
Ill give you $100 if Virginias defense gives up a combined 34 threes in their next two ncaa tourney losses
I'd trade a loss to a 16 seed for a National Championship the next year
Virginia still would’ve done it first though.
They showed a stat last night that OSU is the 4th team in history to beat 2 top 10 teams by 25 points or more. The other 3 all went on to win the national championship.
What's the difference between "down year" and "parity year"?
One thing I have noticed is there's a lot of very low scoring games.
Had OSU been able to get the win tonight, I think they would've jumped KU in tomorrows new poll. That #1 ranking will continue to be a revolving door for the remainder of this season. Not saying KU can't keep it for a while, but with the way this season has played out already, the spot for #1 will probably be open to change from here on out.
We still have to go to Villanova next Saturday. I won't be surprised if they end up winning.

maybe we can play again in the NCAAT. to me you caught Iowa at a bad time, that was your 4th game while is just Iowa's 2nd game.
Fran was replacing 3 starters in these
Cook Garza moved up to take his place
Moss was replaced by RSFR Fredrick
Jordan [did not play] replaced by RSSO Connor
Nunge stepped into the void when Garza moved to Cooks role. now the players are settling into their new roles, plus they are adjusting to playing W/O Nunge, Patrick and now maybe Jordan.
this will make Fran play with a 8 man rotation vs his normal 11-12 player rotation.
They're relatively good. Not a team you can expect to handle easily on the road.
all I know is we shit kicked you guys at your own home.
And if you want to start comparing who has more new pieces, you're gonna come up short in that one as well. We brought back 3 players total from last year's team.
and how many transfers? or SR's. right now I like Iowa's chances at winning the game.
well good luck with that in fantasyland. I'm happy living with the reality of already knowing that we destroyed you guys by like 20 in your own building.
Only way you can possibly redeem that is come to Chicago and beat us at ours. And that sure ain't happening anytime soon.
Heard he retired there, actually. Your team never legitimately loses in fantasyland. Sounds like a lovely place.
All 5 of the teams that have been ranked #1 were all ranked in the top 5 in the preseason poll
