Pre-season College Basketball Rankings

I should have put these up a few days ago before Kentucky, Michigan State and Ohio State got whacked by lesser teams. I've composed my own Pre-season Top 25 and present them here, followed by those of widely-circulated and multi-million doall baby of Yahoo, Rivals.com.

My Rank Team
1 North Carolina
2 Tennessee
3 Memphis
4 Kansas
5 UCLA
6 Georgetown
7 USC
8 Louisville
9 Virginia
10 Indiana
11 Marquette
12 Kansas St.
13 Michigan St.
14 Arkansas
15 Clemson
16 Washington St.
17 Georgia
18 Texas A&M
19 Mississippi
20 Florida St.
21 Duke
22 Providence
23 Auburn
24 Southern Illinois
25 Texas Tech

Rivals.com Rank Team
1 North Carolina
2 Memphis
3 UCLA
4 Kansas
5 Louisville
6 Tennessee
7 Indiana
8 Michigan St.
9 USC
10 Georgetown
11 Kansas St.
12 Arizona
13 Stanford
14 Washington St.
15 Marquette
16 Duke
17 Mississippi St.
18 NC State
19 Syracuse
20 Texas
21 Connecticut
22 Oregon
23 Pitttsburgh
24 Alabama
25 Southern Illinois

We'll make comparisons as the season progresses. Note that neither I nor Rivals.com had Ohio St. or Kentucky in the Top 25. So far, we both look pretty smart.
