Crazy week in top 25

[IWB]

Upset Central - The new rankings came out Monday. Its only Friday morning, and 7 of the top 25 teams have already lost games, Syracuse being the only one of the seven to lose to another ranked team!

#1 Indiana lost to unranked Minnesota
#3 Duke lost to unranked Virginia
#4 Michigan lost to unranked Penn State
#8 Florida lost to unranked Tennessee
#11 Arizona lost to unranked USC
#12 Syracuse lost to #22 Marquette
#19 Memphis lost to unranked Xavier

I will add that #6 Kansas got away with highway robbery at Iowa State.

Let's see what this weekend brings!

Yup, at least 3 more have to go down this weekend, but I wouldn't be surprised if that number is closer to 5-7 this weekend alone. It's been a crazy year.

When I looked at it I had it pegged for 6 losses.

Get a decent seed and anything can happen in the big dance this year.

From what I've seen with the teams ranked #1 or #2 at times this year (Duke, Mich, Indiana, Louisville, Kansas, etc) this could be a tournament where the #1 seeds are nowhere to be found come final four time.

One thing I found weird about yesterday's games was that Virginia was favored over Duke.

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

That doesn't surprise me, I think Vegas has seen all these road upsets and might be adjusting things. I think with there being more parity it makes home court advantage that much more important.

Duke gets a lot of credit in the polls they probably don't deserve. Gamblers decided that they aren't as good as their ranking and bet accordingly.

It's going to be impossible to fill out a dance card this year.

Yet, someone will fill out a good bracket and claim to be an expert and saw all the upsets coming.

For me it will be pretty easy. Mine have tended to stink the past few years. This might make mine better!

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

Well you can add #5 Miami, #21 ND, and #20 Butler to that list. 4 more ranked teams to play tonight and a few tomorrow also.

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

Oh and #12 Syracuse... Shoot at this rate we will be back in the top 20 no problem.

Zona in trouble against UCLA right now. Down 9 with 3:30 to go.

[MUMac]

And no. 11 Zona goes down. 2 losses to UCLA. I wonder what Bill Walton thinks of Sean Miller? :confused:

[MUMac]

K-State with an unbelievable finish against Baylor. One of the few top 15 to win. If you get a chance to watch the ending, man that would be a tough way to lose.

[MKE_GoldenEagleFan]

Rutgers hung close with G'town most of the game too. Would have been nice to see them go down.

[IWB]

K-State - I had them with a loss vs Baylor. Ouch
