2016 College Basketball Team Rankings

This college basketball season is one of the toughest to figure out in recent memory.  10-15 teams have a legitimate shot to win the NCAA Championship, and there's really no clear cut favorite.  Oklahoma regained the #1 ranking, but on any given day many teams could claim that spot.  UNC lost it with lackadaisical effort in portions of several recent games, something a top team should never do.  This has been a reoccurring issue for UNC over the years, and as a huge Tar Heel fan it's very tough to watch.

2016 NBA Draft Rankings: Draft Board Taking Form Heading Into February

Once February rolls around you really start to get a feel for who's going to be good enough to make the leap to the NBA next season.  Some players will be able to make a late climb in the rankings with big performances, while others who decide to jump prematurely will offer some big-time gambles for NBA GM's, but for the most part the picture is getting pretty clear.

Buddy Hield has nearly locked up the Player of the Year award with plenty of time left in the season, and while he almost surely won't be considered for the #1 draft pick, he's proven he will be a force at the next level.  Providence's Ben Bentil has made the biggest jump of late, using a powerful and  versatile skill-set to reach #7.
