This season's November slate of men's college basketball is as loaded as it has ever been, which means notable fluctuation in the early-season rankings. The biggest risers over the first 10 days were Arizona and Alabama, as both programs leveraged their strengths to secure huge road wins over top-five opponents Florida and St. John's, respectively.
There were questions about whether Arizona had enough shooting on its roster heading into the season -- the Wildcats did take only five 3-point shots against the reigning champs, making two of them. But they were absolutely dominant around the rim and at the free throw line, with their 81 points between the two proving that their lack of perimeter shooting isn't much of a factor.
