    Easy answer: #1 Ohio State is an overrated team and has been from the jump. Kraft is overrated, should be averaging 10-15 ppg but is not even close. Their Coach sucks, just sits there, makes substitutions and hopes his team wins. After 3 straight losses you go to Nebraska where the losing streak should end, you lose again. They are simple overrated! Nuff said. Oregon played one ranked team and lost (Colorado) also lost at home to Stanford and Cal. They simple suck and never should have been in the top 25. Wisky, is a solid team but is being exposed by teams similar to them. They Barely beat Iowa, lost at home to a good Michigan team, now the Minny loss and Indy loss really hurt. However they should be ranked and will turn it around. Iowa State just lost to three good teams, Oklahoma, KU and Texas. They are a top team and have beaten good teams already like Michigan, Iowa and Baylor. They obviously belong up there and are going to start a winning streak against K-State. So the bottom line is Ohio State and Oregon both suck and are overrated!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gotta hand it to you, this is a very adept summary. Don't disagree with anything except for the Craft thing maybe.

    I despise the guy and I've sent Dan Dakich some hate mail via social media due to Dan's obsession with that kid. However, Craft is not a scorer, never has and never will be. He's not offensively gifted and most likely the correct term is he is truly challenged at scoring the ball. He is either 1st or 2nd in the nation in defensive win shares and is pretty outstanding in that regard, also solid with distribution of the ball. He's a poor man's TJ McConnell insofar as TJ isn't offensively defunct and is damn near identical as far as defense and distribution go.

    But, seriously, don't ever stop hating on Craft. He deserves it and I hope OSU continues to flame out in such glorious fashion.

    It's parity there's no dominant teams anymore and any sport

    Other then maybe college football

    It's why handicapping is impossible

    0-14 = The widest open March Madness in History.

    That's why Buffett's Billion Dollar Perfect Bracket contest is in NO Jeopardy. Even he knows there is no effing way it can be done. Not this year. That's for sure.

    And I've been burnt 5 times out of those losses. Two to Ohio State. I watched Oregon at Oregon State and I wouldn't bet money on those scrubs if they were playing a community college. They just aren't a team.

    I try not to fukk with OSU. They're one of those teams that no matter the side, I lose.

    Them, UCLA and someone else I am forgetting.

    Too many turnovers in Oregons case and not rebounding for shit. Something they were doing much better before suspensions lifted

    Yep. This right here is exactly right.

    Chemistry got fukked quickly. They don't play defense, they don't commit to the effort it takes to rebound effectively which translates into losses.

    They have a ton of talent.

    Which, actually brings me up to my favorite angle this time of year. Teams will start falling apart right around conference play. They will be looking to put up stats to try and get a scouts attention over continuing to play team ball. If the team has a bunch of NBA hopefuls, team chemistry is going to take a dive.

    I agree...Oregon Breaks out of their funk tonight. Washington is the perfect team for them. Washington doesn't play any defense either. Oregon wins this one boys!! Wisconsin will get back on track Saturday along with Iowa State and I think Ohio State's defense will always give them a chance as long as they can somehow figure out the offensive side of the ball quickly!

    Was just opposite as I assumed. Thought they would struggle early due to suspensions and all the new transfers in starting lineup.

    Luckily still time before we play AZ
