2006-7 College Basketball Sweet 16

Taurean Green is a big reason why the Gators are picking up where they left off last season.College basketball season officially kicks off tonight in the minds of many people. Maui is always a spectacle to see. It attracts the best teams year after year, and has constantly provided the perfect atmosphere for upsets (Think Chaminade over a #1 Virginia squad in 1982).

With that in mind, we have had games for a few weeks now, and it is time for me to weigh in on what I think are the top teams in college basketball. Each week, I will rank my Sweet 16 based on the games through the previous Sunday. Remember, this is my brain, not the MRI here.

My Sweet 16:

  1. Florida

  2. Pittsburgh

  3. North Carolina

  4. Wisconsin

  5. LSU

  1. UCLA
  2. Ohio State
  3. Memphis
  4. Washington
  5. Syracuse
  6. Duke
  7. Alabama
  8. Arizona
  9. Texas
  10. Maryland
  11. Georgetown

How do I leave Kansas out? Easy. They have lost two many players over the first few weeks of the season, and they have a tough loss to Oral Roberts. I would have them in the top 25, but right now, not the top 16.
