    Justin's top 10 in NCAAB

    Rank Team Power
    1 Duke 26.84
    2 Wisconin 23.96
    3 Texas 23.94
    4 Pittsburgh 23.94
    5 BYU 23.56
    6 SD St 22.62
    7 OSU 20.24
    8 Kansas 19.88
    9 ND 18.44
    10 Georgetown16.26

    These power rankings are from Colossus. The Coach's poll has it all wrong.

    For simplified spread generating, use the power rankings... This is how many points that team is better than an "average" team. HFA is worth about 3.75.

    There are over 300 Div Ia teams. Which of these teams are ranked below 150, or even below 25?

    Even though I love backing clubs that emphasize defense come March, Whisky is home court or bust, don't think they will be much of a factor come tourney time.

    If you average all the Div Ia teams. Average of all stats on a neutral field. This means teams that play a lot more home games than road games get adjusted downward.

    I bet about 1/4th of the game spreads, and about 1/30th of the totals. There are 30 games on the board right now for tomorrow. What are the odds that I have no plays tomorrow, assuming 30 games with spreads and totals.

    How would you factor it? Your average would have you playing 7.5 game spreads, and 1 total.

    so how would that translate into odds against no play v. plays??

    Duke is the best team. They should be number one. They win the championship this year. Mark my words.

    Wisconin - solid team.

    However, Wisconsin is absurdly overrated.

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/ncaa-baske...ournament.html

    And HC is worth about 10 points for them. If they win @ Purdue and OSU, more respect.

    Probably out by the 1st weekend, S16 tops. Maybe they're different this year, but it's doubtful.

    No way should BYU or San Diego St. be in the top 10. You stick those teams in the big east and they would be dead last.

    I'd agree maybe with Duke if Irving was healthy but he's done for the year and so is Duke.

    Depaul, and USF play in that conference. So no.

    plus im guessing you have never seen either team play. SDSU is a rebounding machine. When you see that team, they look like any other top team in America physically.

    BYU has the best PG in the country, and their SG doesnt miss 3pts when he catches and shoots. The rest of the team are guys who play smart, like any BYU team would. Being smart is a talent also. That is why Duke is good perennially. They have great players, but they all execute what the coach tells them to do consistently.
