At this point in the season, I think we should just all agree that there is no "best" team. There are about seven or eight really good teams, with Florida currently the cream of the crop, followed by everyone else.
And that everyone else is getting a little interesting. While only a few mid-majors were able to separate themselves early in the season, the best of the rest are currently making their way up Mid-Major Madness' college basketball computer rankings.
Gonzaga and Creighton continue to hold spots in the top 15 overall, but within the top 50, a number of teams are making enough noise to warrant some wider consideration.
We already called attention to Middle Tennessee State, which now tops the best of the rest thanks to Wichita State's difficult week. But now the Blue Raiders and Shockers are joined by Belmont, BYU and Memphis in the top 25, with St. Mary's -- thanks to a rocky beginning to the season -- sitting at No. 26.
This is a big change from the beginning of the season when it seemed that none of these teams could get the traction to move anywhere. The nonconference season became almost more of a learning experience for these squads instead of a resume building exercise. That time in the "classroom" appears to be paying off in conference.
It isn't just the teams that have moved into the Top 25 (plus one) that warrant analysis either. Still advancing is Akron, which now boasts the nation's longest winning streak after a win over Ohio on Saturday. Bucknell, Louisiana Tech and Southern Mississippi, all have cases for considerations of an at-large spot too based on what the numbers lay out there.
This isn't the place to rant about the RPI -- although we have done it -- or the problems with scheduling. This is however a place where we need to call out that the committee should be concerned with the overall basketball achievement by some of these teams, even if it was not against the best of competition.
We aren't saying to ignore strength of schedule. What we are saying is that if a team like Middle Tennessee State dominated its conference to the point where all the computers agree it is a strong candidate for top 25 consideration, maybe the committee needs to take a second look even if the team's record against the RPI Top 25, or 50, or 100 is lacking.
There is no harm in giving the team a spot among the final at-large teams -- teams that would normally not win more than a game in the NCAA Tournament anyway -- at the expense of one of the names of college basketball, who have the opportunity to garner gaudy resumes just by virtue of the name on their conference.
Yes, they may have the better players. They may end up being a better team. But those big name schools failed to impress enough to be more than mediocre in their own leagues.
Meanwhile, you punish a team like a Bucknell or a Louisiana Tech, who dominated within their conferences, all because of a single loss when the target is firmly on their backs.
At the end of the day, especially in a year as wide open as this, let's hope the committee takes an extra 10 minutes, 20 minutes, an hour to discuss the merits of the teams from the non-Big 6 who have achieved this season.
There is still a month of basketball left to prove worthiness, but it is worth considering what these teams have done in the first three of this season.
Here are all the rankings from 1 to 347 in this week's college basketball computer numbers.
