Who do you have? North Carolina and Uconn have both lost. Kentucky def has talent but is always going to be young talent. Ohio state looked pretty good tonight taking out the dookies.

I still think NC is the best team followed by Uconn even though they both have losses on the resume. Lamb, Barnes and Sullinger are the three best players in my opinion. NC and Uconn have a better group surrounding them then Ohio state. Have to go NC, Uconn, Ohio st and Kentucky in my top 4
 
I would go UNC, UK, Ohio St. Looking forward to the UNC/Duke match-ups. Ohio St impressed me tonight for sure; still can't believe the between the defenders legs to himself pass.
 
I'm thinking UNC will light up Duke at home and probably win a closer game at Cameron. Don't think they have the talent to stay with UNC this year.

I haven't seen Syracuse play so I can't form an opinion on them, Beoheim might not make it past mid season they way things are going though
 
Based solely on what teams have done right now, I'd probably go with Duke.

By the end of the season, it'll probably be Kentucky or UNC.

It certainly looks like a good year for college basketball. The NBA lockout really helped the college game. Unfortunately it's looking like the new CBA won't be changing the age limit.
 
After watching Ohio State demolish Duke last night, I would have to say they are the best team so far. No telling who it will be in March.
 
Duke is a good team, but they're built as usual to crumble in the tourney. If they have an off night they are terrible, as evidenced by the game last night.
 
North Carolina has the fewest holes right now, biggest question mark for them is if Kendall Marshall can keep anyone in front of him. Kentucky will be salty come March once they harness their ability and become more of a unit...Saturday's game will be a good barometer.

Last night's game between Duke-OSU means nothing, those teams are pretty equal, Duke just completed a five games in 12 days stretch which included games in New York City, Hawaii and a true road game in Columbus. You can't expect to have all your horses healthy for a game like that after such a brutal stretch, also, Coach K sat Dawkinks, Curry and Kelly the final 10 minutes to prove a point.
 
Crap... forgot as I typed that that Duke just lost.

Ohio State is probably my choice.

Camp, the OSU/Duke game means no less than any other at this point in the year. Every game in November means nothing when you're talking about what happens in March. If the question is who's best now, though, I don't see how you can discount a game where a coach had to sit three of his best players to "prove a point."

Coach K said after the game that he was sitting them due to fatigue but the rumor is he wasn't happy with their play being they are upper classmen. Duke is not twenty points worse than Ohio State right now regardless of what happened last night, their schedule has been brutal and they played their toughest opponent on the back end in a true road game, it was a recipe for disaster. Throw in the fact that former Ohio State players were in the house (Odom, Turner, etc) with DWade and Lebron sitting courtside, that place was rocking.

I put more value in Duke beating KU when both teams are on a neutral floor after playing two games in two days than Duke getting blown out by Ohio State in their house. Thad Matta after the game said there is a reason he doesn't play in Maui, hates the travel and thinks it wears down your team...he appears to be right.
 
Ohio State has the best win so far after last night... or Duke is severely overrated. I'm hoping its the latter :D
 
Ohio State IMO, but I thought that before the Duke win. The Duke win means little to me, Duke was gassed after all the travel and tough games they had. But, I have to believe Sullinger will be even more dominant than last year, and I straight up have a man-crush on Aaron Craft because he puts more effort into his game than almost any other player I've ever seen. Thad has been knocking on the door for a while, and I think OSU finally wins one this year.
 
one thing i noticed while watching teams like OSU, UNC and Syracuse is that they have basketball players who are really good athletes but schools like Nova, Tennessee and Memphis have a lot of athletes and no basketball players.
 
I'd take Ohio St just because I love Sully's game so much at the college level.
