Old School Meets New School
An early season battle for supremacy in the Atlantic-10 pits two of the conference’s top teams when the Rhode Island Rams travel to face the Dayton Flyers on Friday night. The Rams’ non-conference record wasn’t as glossy as it could’ve been and the team fell out of the top 25 early, but playing one of the toughest schedules in the country can do that to you. Still, the Rams entered league play as a favorite to win the title after claiming eight victories ahead of conference action....
The Michigan State Spartans struggled through a rough non-conference slate as they lost several times against a tough schedule. The Big Ten season has started much better and they will look to remain undefeated in the conference in a road game against the Penn State Nittany Lions....

The Villanova Wildcats have picked up right where they left off last season. Nova cruised through the NCAA Tournament to secure its second national championship with a victory of North Carolina. Entering this season as the No. 1 team in the country, the Wildcats haven’t disappointed by winning all 14 of their contests. The Big East figures to be a strong conference again and Wildcats will put their undefeated record on the line with a visit to No. 18 Butler on Wednesday night....

The Arizona Wildcats started off the Pac-12 strong and will aim to keep it up when they host the Utah Utes. Arizona has some stiff competition near the top of the conference with Oregon and UCLA also playing well, so it can’t afford slip-ups in winnable games like this....
The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets pulled off a huge upset by beating North Carolina last time out. Can they do it again? Georgia Tech will hit the road to face off with another perennial power, the Duke Blue Devils, but will once again be the underdog....
We’ll get a much better picture of just how good the Clemson Tigers are when they face the North Carolina Tar Heels on Tuesday. Clemson won its ninth straight game with a comeback victory over Wake Forest on Saturday and for the time being sits atop the ACC standings. Sure it’s only one conference game, but the Tigers are looking a lot like the school’s football team in terms of grittiness and the ability to win games. The school’s faith in coach Brad Brownell might turn into a blessing....
The Kentucky Wildcats are favored to capture the SEC once again this season and can keep distancing itself from the rest of the competition with some early-conference victories. Next up is a showdown against the Texas A&M Aggies, who will head to Rupp Arena as significant underdogs....
The Indiana Hoosiers have hit a midseason lull, and in a competitive Big 10, need to turn it around sooner rather than later. They will have another tough test when the nationally ranked Wisconsin Badgers come to town....

The Baylor Bears are one of the few teams in the nation to escape the non-conference slate undefeated, and have ascended to the No. 4 national ranking because of that success.
