UCLA, Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Ohio State and Florida are the Top 5 in both the AP and USA Today polls this week.  Rocketman has UCLA ranked way back in 21st, Pittsburgh only honorable mention, North Carolina in 12th, Ohio State 13th and Florida up in 2nd place.  Air Force sits in my #1 position this week while USA Today has them in 20th and the AP has them in 24th.  This is a team to watch this year.  Other notable in my Top 25 rankings and not in the AP or USA Today are Mississippi State, West Virginia, Villanova, Boston College, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas and Xavier.  Watch these teams make strides toward the TOP 25.  Teams to look to drop out of the rankings or move down would be Wisconsin, Wichita State, Alabama, Washington, Butler, Marquette, Nevada and Syracuse.
