Right now they sit at #4, behind Baylor, Gonzaga and UCLA. With Baylor losing, we’re about to see some changes in the poll.

In my opinion, Auburn is the most deserving team at this point to take over the top spot. Their only blemish is a 2OT loss to the good guys, and they had a huge win this week over #24 Alabama.

Here’s where the others stand at the moment:

- #1 Baylor lost their first game this week to #19 Texas Tech.

- #2 Gonzaga has two losses (#16 Alabama and #5 Duke).

- #3 UCLA has two losses (#1 Gonzaga, and N/R Oregon)

I would love to see Auburn sitting at #1for as long as possible. Reminds me of the feather we had in our caps from beating *Florida in 2013-2014 and watching them rise in the rankings.

*= refers to the first time we beat them that year

Speaking of the Florida team
When I was looking at the Israeli league where JA is . The Star of the perennial power team in that league ,Maccabee Tel Aviv, is none other than Scotty Wilbekin. The kid is making big Bucks . Maybe Bazz and RB should go to that league and give him nightmares.

I keep hoping that this year mirrors that Florida year. Great game where the good guys pull one out. The rest of the year the other guys play better and seem like the better team, but when it all matters in the end, the cream rises to the top.

As much as Auburn has a nice team, I feel that both Baylor and the Zags beat them in a head to head and win any best of series. Alabama is not the strongest of teams and should have beaten Auburn at home if they brought their A game. I think LSU will beat them in conference

14 wins in a row! Most games aren’t close. That may be the single best win of the year and we did it on a neutral court.

The 2. Auburn 12. Kentucky game has been pretty entertaining to watch! I’ll be pulling for ‘Burn obviously. They kinda remind me of UConn back when we were consistently disrupting the basketball world.

We feel like we’re coming together at the right time of year. Not national championship better, but definitely better.

That Auburn win is going to be like when the 2014 team beat Florida.

We were both ranked in the teens, actually slightly higher than them, and after beating them we went in completely opposite directions and they didn't lose again until the Final Four.

Watching Kessler play I can’t help but envision that’s what an in shape Clingan is going to look like in a Husky uniform. Seems like they have fairly similar games and size. @husky429 any thoughts? You’ve watched Clingan pretty closely.

Kessler isn’t as big and is much more mobile

He could be more mobile, Kessler was a 5⭐️ Coming out of HS. However, he’s listed at 7’1” and Clingan is 7’1” on his recruiting profile. Maybe Clingan grew and is 7’2” now, but if they were standing next to each other I don’t think you’d be able to tell the difference.

Auburn and Arkansas in OT on ESPN2. 1 minute left. Arkansas may take them down here.

Notae is killing Auburn. And Kessler just fouled out. Looks like Auburn going down.

Look how great the Arkansas crowd is. They are loud and excited. Almost everyone is wearing white. That makes an impression. UConn's crowd tonight was weak. I know it's not the #1 team in the country coming to town but two ranked teams with UConn back in the Big East. Where's all the excitement and energy?

Pearl said in an interview last night that he felt his team was due for another loss or two and felt Arkansas could beat them tonight
