Madness 101: Top 25 at a Glance and the Week Ahead


So much has gone on this early season in mens basketball and there is still so much to come.


There has been some moving and shaking atop the polls and rankings all year, but it is quite shocking to see that Wake Forest is sitting #1. It comes well deserved after the Demon Decons knocked off power house North Carolina, surprise team Clemson at Clemson and Boston College to stay the only undefeated team in the country.


Pittsburgh who was at the number one spot dropped to 4 after their loss in Louisville to the red hot Cardinals who also beat Notre Dame and Villanova and now sit at number nine behind Syracuse.


Duke Moves up one spot to four after an undefeated week against Georgia Tech and Georgetown. But beware because on Saturday Duke travels to Winston Salem to take on those Demon Decons in a 1 vs 2 showdown.


UCLA drops 3 spots after a tough loss to Arizona st in overtime at Home.


This week ahead poses some big games for some teams, and this will forsure shake up the Rankings going into next week.
