While we had some indications early on this season that this year would bring more parity than we were used to seeing, I don’t think any of us were fully prepared for the absolute chaos that has engulfed the 2018-19 season. Everyone has lost at least once, nearly every conference is still up for grabs, and for the first time since Week 9, we will have a consensus #1 team in Baylor in next week’s poll.

As teams continue to jockey for seeding in both their conference and the NCAA tournament, today’s games could go a long way in determining who will make a deep run and who will have to settle for another early round exit.

#7 Stanford hosts #17 Arizona State in perhaps the marquee game of the day, but don’t forget #14 Miami (FL) v #22 Florida State, #23 South Dakota at South Dakota State, #9 NC State at UNC, and #12 Oregon State v upset-minded UCLA.
