The Bad: Only Moving Oregon Up Six Spots

The one thing I will never understand is keeping certain basketball programs inside the top fifteen because of their high-status in the college basketball world. Meaning, North Carolina already has three losses this season to Indiana, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech and yet, the Tar Heels are still ranked above the Oregon Ducks.

Let me remind you that Oregon is coming off a week where they beat #2 UCLA and and #22 USC. Please tell me this is a mistake that UNC is still ranked over the Ducks.

Not to mention, Oregon’s only two losses of the season were to Georgetown and #2 Baylor.

Coming off of two straight top 25 wins, the Oregon basketball team should have moved up a little further than 15.
