College Basketball Field of 68 - New Year's Edition

• Syracuse still overall #1, followed by Ohio State, Duke and Kentucky
• Texas A&M needs to beat someone to re-enter the field
• Memphis may still be the class of C-USA, but for now they are out and C-USA is a one-bid league
• It will be interesting to see how the committee treats this Xavier three-game stretch
• Keep in mind Ohio State's one loss was without Sullinger and Vandy is now 2-1 with Festus Ezeli
• The Missouri Valley had a strong non-conference showing, but won't do itself any at-large favors if they all beat-up on each other in conference play
• Who will be the surprise team in conference play this year (the 2012 version of St. John's a year ago)?
• Happy New Year!!
