So much for that

A few days ago, Florida was looking like one of the best teams in the nation. Now? A loss to a good Tennessee is one thing, but a loss to 11-8 South Carolina? Well, that's not so good. At this point, they've gone from looking like one of the top two nations to not even being the best team in the SEC (here's looking at you Tennessee)

Next up for Florida is a date with 12-4 Vandy.

Don't look now, but George Washington is 15-1 and ranked in the top 15. They look like the best Mid-Major team in the land, unless you still count Gonzaga as a Mid-Major.

Also, Louisville was able to take out Cincinnati, in a game that Rick Pitino called "must-win." And he was probably right. With a loss, they would have been 1-5 in the Big East, and fighting just to get in the Big East Tourney.

Also a few upsets, as Michigan took out Michigan St., Seton Hall beat NC State, in the biggest surprise of them all, Marshall beat West Virginia, a team that was looking more and more like an elite team. A great day of college basketball!

Great night in college basketball. Only upset I got to watch was the Seton Hall game and I watched the Connecticut game. I can assure you that the ACC is more weak than the Big East is strong. Seton Hall is one of the worst big east teams i've ever seen and they put a beating on NC State.

I can't believe more people aren't talking about Tennessee. They have beaten Florida and Texas and their women's team finally lost. It's time to give the guys team so love.

Great site by the way

Oh' how the mighty fall. I actually came close to voting Florida #1 at one point.
