Granted, it's early season rankings which mean nothing, but what a change in College basketball. Indiana at NO.1, Michigan at NO.5, UCLA NO. 7, NC ST NO.6. Quite a shakeup in the CBB World.

Could be quite a year in Kentuckiana too.

Some years I didn't think all of the Gameday match-ups were the marquee game of the weekend. But they got a great schedule this year.

Shabazz Muhammad is being investigated by the NCAA for improper benefits received. He will not make UCLA's trip to China later this month.

Pretty interesting read on a potential Nike schools tournament in the 2017-18 season to honor Phil Knight.

Pretty sick line up.

How long before the Adidas schools team up for the same thing?

I think it's a natural progression like scheduling games on aircraft carriers. What is Adidas best lineup?

ACC: NC State
Big East: Cincinnati, Louisville, Notre Dame, SMU( next year)
Big Ten: Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin
Big 12: Kansas, Baylor
Pac 12: UCLA
SEC: Tennessee, Texas A&M, Mississippi State

Other: St.Mary's, UMASS.

I have 16 teams up there of Adidas school ( according to Wikipedia).

I think there is 2 ways for it to work:

1. Create 4 different "tournaments" across the nation with 4 teams in them because of how many the Big East, Big Ten and SEC have.

2. Go an 8 team tournament with 1 team from the Big 6 conferences with 2 teams outside of the Big 6 conferences.

For Example: NC State, UCLA, Kansas, Louisville, Indiana, Tennessee, St. Mary's and UMASS.

SMU is Nike now.

Just waiting for Steve Alford, Pervis Ellison, Sam Bowie, Danny Manning and Gary Grant to suit up and run on the court.
