After closely monitoring last night's games, I had no choice but to think "Wow, so nobody wants to be #1." Last night was yet another disaster for most ranked teams. #4 Wake Forest stood their own ground in Winston-Salem last night, defeating Duke with an in-bounds play to knock off the Blue Devils 70-68. It was definitely a thriller, in case you missed out.
In other news, #15 Syracuse lost. So did #3 Pittsburgh. And so did #23 Georgetown. This definitely shakes up the picture for March, but I'm going to take a stab at my projections with the seedings.
