College Basketball Field of 68 - Christmas Edition

• Syracuse is overall #1, followed by Ohio State, Duke and Kentucky
• Rewarded Indiana for their undfeated start with a #3 seed, a spot the second place Big Ten team is likely to earn at the very least after the non-conference performance of the league
• Minnesota fans can hate, but someone has to go 7-11 or 6-12 in league play and I think its the Gophers.
• Three of my "First Four" on the #12 line are from mid-majors, which are seeing some strong non-conference resumes put together.
• Happy Holidays!!
