If you have been consumed by football over the past few months, I’m here to try to catch you up.
The first place you might look if you were trying to catch up on your own is the national rankings. Well, those might shock you at first glance. Outside of defending national champion Kansas, the blue bloods have had the blues so far this season.
Duke and North Carolina are unranked. Villanova is lost. Kentucky recently lost at home as 20-point favorites to lowly South Carolina, still trying to figure out which rotation works best. Gonzaga just suffered an ultra-rare home loss in the Kennel to Loyola Marymount.
That should clue you in on the fact that this season is as wide open as I can ever remember. There’s no clear dominant team.
