Statistical College Basketball Rankings, Vol. II

Below are my rankings for the Top 50 college basketball teams. Statistics/ratings are through games played on Monday, 11/25. Louisville, the former #1, dropped to #5 following their loss to UNC. Kansas is the new #1 team and I suspect they'll be near the top much of the season. Dropping out were: Indiana, Georgetown, Virginia, NC State, Arizona State, Southern Mississippi, Colorado State, and Alabama. Replacing those teams were: North Carolina, Texas, Stanford, Tennessee, Dayton, Belmont, Xavier, and Mississippi. As I expected with it being early in the season, some teams fluctuated quite a bit, and I think that will continue for maybe another month. It seems there is not much separating teams ranked 35-50 from team ranked 51-65, so look for another ten or so teams to move up in my Top 50 next week.
