I guess maybe they are trying to get at the fact that there aren't as many teams that pass "the eyeball test" as there were when Jerry Tarkanian was biting towels.

Is there anyway to do all the stats for just the Top 25 teams in the final AP poll? Or maybe just the 1-6 seeds in the tourney?

What exactly would that prove?

I think it'd be interesting to see how the 'top' teams do in relation to the teams from the past. If CBB is indeed getting 'watered down' then that should have an affect on the best teams year-to-year.

I enjoy college basketball as much as I ever have.

i'm enjoying it about as much as i did around 87-91, considerably more than i did from 92-06.
