The challenge this week was Baylor and Oregon. The Bears obviously deserved to get in, but at one point they beat an undermanned Oregon team. I wanted to put them ahead of Oregon, but didn’t want to drop the Ducks too far with Dillon Brooks about to come back.
How about Virginia? The Cavaliers haven’t beaten anyone of note and they lost Austin Nichols, who was supposed to be not only their best player, but a potential All-American.
