It wasn't me... Top 25

UMass got four votes in the Associated Press men's basketball top 25. According to the A.P. one voter had the Minutemen at No. 22. It wasn't me. Voting for them never crossed my mind. (I cover UMass, for anyone here that doesn't know me).

Here's my 25.

1. Illinois
2. Kansas
3. Duke
4. Wake Forest
5. Oklahoma State
6. North Carolina
7. Syracuse
8. Kentucky
9. Boston College
10. Mississippi State
11. Georgia Tech
12. Connecticut
13. Michigan State
14. Texas A&M
15. Gonzaga
16. Iowa
17. Washington
18. Alabama
19. Arizona
20. Louisville
21. Oklahoma
22. Pitt
23. Cincy
24. Miami
25. Wisconsin

I went back and forth between Charlotte, Utah and Wisconsin and even briefly considered Pacific. Somehow Duke is undefeated and drops behind one-loss Wake. That said I think Wake would probably win head-to-head.
