Duke, Kansas, and Michigan all look great.

Kansas looks ok. They will probs still win the Big 12, but who knows after that. And it sucks that they are our only L, but with Azubuike out for the season, they may not have the gas in the tank when we get to the tourney.

Virginia and Michigan are both undefeated. Gonzaga is good again this year. Duke and Tennessee have the best 1-2 punches in the NCAA this year. Michigan State is tough.

I think that the Big 10(UM, Mich St, Nebraska, Purdue) and the ACC (Duke, UVA, VT, UNC) will be tougher all-around this year. This isn't intended as a troll, but the SEC is a giant mess and no one other than VOLS have been meeting expectations, which might make Tennessee's chances to get out of the regular season without crippling injuries higher.

There might be 6+ 1-seed caliber teams come March. Someone is going to get a tough draw. We could do it. We might not. But we are having a blast right now and enjoying every second of it.

Edit: some SEC teams have also+ exceeded expectations at this point, but there's too much of the season left to judge the outcome.
