CJ's Final Top 25

Wow!!! What a game, and I accurately told you Memphis FT shooting would kill them, and it cost them a National Championship. With that, my final Top 25 Polls, these polls are a combination of regular season and postseason success:

1) Kansas (37-3) - National Champions

2) Memphis (38-2) - 1 FT...

3) UCLA (35-4)- Final Four then bust... i'll remember next yr... only to bash them again

4) Louisville (27-9)- Better team than UNC, just didn't bring their A game and was stuck in NC

5) Texas (31-7) - Loss in Houston still surprises me but they are very talented

6) UNC (36-3)- Very overrated, they leave the State of North Carolina and they get blown out, surprise... I think not

7) Davidson (29-7)- Probably still underrated on here... 1 shot from being a legit Final Four contender

8) Stanford (28-8)- Playing Texas in Houston was really unfair, but they did get lucky to get by Marquette

9) Wisconsin (31-5)- Big X champ, played with Davidson til Curry decided to become Superman

10) Tennessee (31-5)- Lofton really didn't play well this year at all

11) Butler (30-4)- Ran into Tennessee and took them into OT

12) Xavier (30-7)- OVERRATED OVERRATED, they had the easiest road to the Elite 8...anybody remember them being down at half to UGA???

13) Marquette (25-10)- got robbed in Anaheim vs. Stanford, really were starting to get hot too

14) Duke (28-6)- Live and Die by the 3...and they died

15) Western Kentucky (29-7)- Didn't win the Sun Belt, won on a prayer 3 vs Drake, but showed they belonged vs UCLA

16) West Virginia (26-11)- Got hot at the right time...never pick againist WVU as a 7 seed... ever

17) Michigan State (27-9)- Ultimate Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde team so they get put here cause I don't know where to put them

18) Washington State (26-9)- Underrated all season and made ND look like a foolish High School team

19) Gonzaga (25-8)- Ran into a hot Davidson team in Raleigh, if they had won that they would deserve to be a top 10 team

20) Oklahoma (23-12)- Injuries to Blake Griffin never allowed us to see the true potential of this team

21) Georgetown (28-6)- Did nothing in the regular season, did nothing in the NCAA's...this is quite frankly a gift

22) Pitt (27-10)- Struggled with injuries all year but unlike GT showed up in the NCAA's but too many regular season losses to put them above them

23) Notre Dame (25-8)- With a normal loss to WSU they'd be top 18 but they didn't lose a normal game

24) Drake (28-5)- One desperation 3 by WKU away from being the Cinderella in the Sweet 16

25) Purdue (25-9)- Tough luck in 2nd round game but will be co-Big X favorite

Also Recieving Consideration (in Order) : Arizona, Siena, Miami (FL), Ohio State, Villanova, UMass
