College Basketball Rankings - Week 17 Top 25

       Here are this weeks College Basketball Top 25 rankings by Joey the NCAA Basketball Cat Analyst. Joey Baloney the Cat is getting excited for the NCAA Tournament just around the corner. This season the NCAA Selection Committee for the first time gave a glimpse on February 11th of the Tourney team rankings up to that point. Most are split on whether this is good or bad but for the crazy zealous fans this is exactly what they crave and desire. Team are jockeying and fighting to be higher seeds and also there are many teams on the bubble and have to wait until Selection Sunday to see if they are in or not. Gonzaga remains in the top spot, for the 4th consecutive week as they are the only remaining unbeaten team this year. The next 2 weeks will be exciting as the college basketball season comes to a close and we move on to conference tournaments and then onto the NCAA Tournament.  March Madness is almost here and as it was last year, Joey again will pick his 64 teams and His bracket selections.  Last Year Joey finished an amazing 54-9 including having 3 of the the Final 4 picked correctly.  Stay tuned this year to see how He does again.  twitter; @cupofjoeinthed   email; cupofjoeinthed@gmail.com    www.cupofjoeinthed.blogspot.com
