Per last year, I am doing a second round of my top teams NCAA men’s basketball teams as we head into the heart of conference play (and with almost all of non-conference play complete). I will aim to do another one of these as we head into post-season play.
The changes:
The first thing I have tried to do is to “shorten the benches” as teams’ depth charts have shifted and as the primary playing groups have tightened up (and as guys have gotten injured or come back from injury, or transferred).
I have cut the number of teams ranked down to 35 as I try to narrow my group of teams considered towards the group that I think will actually have a shot to do things in the NCAA tournament.
