As of right now we've had 3 top 25 upsets so far....
Miami over Florida
Holy Cross over Harvard
Creighton over Oklahoma

Pretty big win with Creighton beating Oklahoma. 1st real game after McBuckets leaves for the NBA and they were down 17. Stirring comeback(2nd biggest in their arena) to get the W.

So glad the real games are starting now. Enough with these cupcakes.

I don't care that it was a top-5 matchup, how does one ignore Kentucky's thrashing of Kansas? KU went from beating a decent UCSB by 10 to losing by 32 to the 'Cats. A 42 point swing in the first two games!

Maybe KU is overrated? That is my guess and UK is pretty damn good early.

Mizzou losing to umkc 69-61. Mizzou has rebounded nicely though

Akron killed USC by 20 points today, and that's without their star player Treadwell.

As I feared...Cuse is not real good this year. Young team...might be NCAA worthy? Lost to Cal by double digits @MSG.

Not sure if this should count as laughable or not, but Winthrop 77, @Clemson 74 the other night surprised me...

Bears might be better than people think. It was a good win, we'll find out more on Friday vs. Texas.

KU is definitely overrated so far. Admittedly, Bill Self teams don't fly out the gate like Roy Williams' teams did, but we've got a lot of work to do. As he gets more of the short-term recruits (one-and-dones and two-and-dones) I think he may need to tweak his style some and perhaps simplify things a little. Of course, what do I know - it's not as though I've ever actually coached a team to as much as one victory.
