2019-2020 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

Utah beat Kentucky before we beat Kentucky.

San Diego State 80
Utah 52

The Aztecs are 12-0.

Gonzaga is likely to be the new #1 team next week. They are gonna hold that spot for a while, as they dont face another top-100 team until January 18th, and their next top-50 game away from home is February 8th.

I'd take the Bucks -7 on a neutral floor against them.

Gonzaga deserves to be #1 in the same way that I deserve to be Angelina Jolie's husband.

Ironically there are three players who suited up for OSU in the 2015 win over Kentucky that are still playing college basketball, and none of them are with OSU. Giddens is at Vermont, Harris is at NM St, and Lyle is at New Mexico. No players who logged minutes for KY in that loss are still playing college basketball.

They lost on a neutral floor to ttun by 18 points. They’re a good team, but they are absolutely not the best team in the country.

as far as who "deserves" to be #1, i think you can group about 8 teams together. i don't see much separation between them. i do think that among those 8, ohio state may have the highest floor. and even ohio state has had multiple bouts of looking like poopy mcgee. based on how we played sunday, at least half of d1 could have beaten us.

Seems like ages ago since those guys were on OSU's roster. Dark times for sure.

I could care less about being ranked #1 right now. Like Clark Kellogg said after the game, "I'd like to see them #1 in March."

I don't think any team has truly separated themselves, though Buckeyes might have had an argument if they hadn't looked so terrible at Minny. Anyways, Gonzaga is about as deserving as anyone else in that top 8 or so is, like OSU_Buckguy pointed out.

Not sure if CBS will have their CBS Sports Classic next year, but certainly UCLA has fallen off in general, and if CBS brings this event back it may be time to remake the field. Over the past 6 years, counting this one, UCLA had one awesome year and a lot of mediocrity. If you look at the four years in the past 5 where they didnt win 30 games, they averaged losing about 15 games per season. This year looks like more of the same and they are still in a transitional period. If I am CBS & plan to continue this event, I replace UCLA with one of Arizona, Gonzaga or Oregon.

I mean... I guess they're alright.

Per CBS, Bill Self is now 172-2 at KU when holding opponents under 60 points. Also, Nova got their first regular-season win over a #1 ranked team since 2006.

With or without pocket money
