Blogpoll: Week Twelve

The full blogpoll is here, my ballot was as follows.

Kansas' dominance became too hard to ignore. They won their first five Big 12 games by an average of 23 points, with @Mizzou being the only one that was within 20. Now that I have them #1, they'll lose to Kansas State tonight (Edit: Yup.), but so it goes.

Five Pac-10 teams, which is a lot, but I think that's warranted. Four of the five are in Pomeroy's top 16, with USC at 23rd. It'll be interesting to see how things shake out down the stretch, and how many teams they end up putting in the tourney.

A couple very intriguing games tomorrow night, headlined by Indiana @ Wisconsin (9pm ET, ESPN). The Hoosiers are coming off a shocking home loss against UConn, and pretty desperately need a marquee win on their resume. Wisconsin will try to right the ship after losing @Purdue on Saturday. The Badgers have been very tough at the Kohl Center, with their only loss coming to Marquette back when the Golden Eagles were good.

The second game, which won't be nearly as high on the national radar, is Arizona @ USC (10:30pm ET, FSN). Two teams that are unranked in the ESPN poll, but in the top 20 of mine, and poised to make a run in the Pac-10. There's no sense in repeating what I went on about the other day, but Arizona has been very impressive since Bayless' return, and USC won @UCLA before sweeping their Oregon trip. Should be a good one.
