Knoxville:
2. Tennessee
15. Robert Morris (NEC)
7. Stanford
10. Nebraska
This Stanford-Nebraska 7/10 matchup is one that I want to see played right now. Seriously, right now. Put the teams on a plane and send them to a neutral court. The Cardinal are rolling in Pac-12 play and own wins over UCLA and Arizona State. The Cornhuskers have won four in a row, all against RPI top-50 teams, and are undefeated on the road.
Austin:
3. Texas
14. Little Rock (Sun Belt)
6. Villanova (Big East)
11. Princeton (Ivy)
Texas’s blowout loss to Baylor probably said more about the Bears than the Longhorns, so you can’t knock them too much for that. Still, Texas finds itself on the 3 line this week, but a strong 3 at that. Take care of business over the next two weeks and they’ll move right back up, assuming someone else falters.
