College Basketball Final Season Rankings - Week 19 Top 25

      Here are the College Basketball Top 25 final regular season rankings by Joey the NCAA Basketball Analyst. Joey Baloney the Cat is getting excited for the NCAA Tournament just around the corner. Selection Sunday surprised many and teams got in from bigger conferences that maybe should not of and the mid major conferences were skipped over once again. The selection committee this year probably had its best year in many years, selecting teams worthy of an at large bid. It is clearly evident for most mid level to smaller schools that if you do not win your conference championship, you will get passed over for larger conference schools who have 12 or 13 or even 14 losses. The problem nowadays is most big schools choose to only play some of these teams in their non conference schedule and unless these smaller schools agree to travel and play top teams on the road they will never have a strong strength of schedule. Illinois State was the biggest snub this year after going 27-6 but they did not win their conference championship. Others making a case for being left out were Iowa, Syracuse, Illinois, California and Georgia.  March Madness is here and as it was last year, Joey again will pick his 64 teams and His bracket selections. Last Year, Joey finished an incredible 54-9 including having 3 of the Final 4 picked correctly. Stay tuned this year to see how Joey the NCAA Cat Analyst does again.
