2016-2017 College Basketball Team Rankings





UNC solidified its hold on the top spot after a dominating performance in Maui.  Last year's runner-up looks poised to redeem itself this season, and this just might be the year we get to see a UNC-Duke battle in the Final 4.  I'm not sure I can handle that.
