Zachetology Feb. 28-March 4, 2011: Number one and Done...(Again)

After the loss of the Kansas Jayhawks, the Duke Blue Devils accended from the fifth spot to the top of the polls last week. However, the number one and done trend continues with Duke's 64-60 road loss to Virginia Tech. The biggest winner of the weekend was BYU. #6 BYU knocked off #4 Sand Diego State for the second time this year and have moved into the last #1 seed in my rankings. If BYU or Duke stumble down the stretch, watch out for the surging Purdue Boilermakers to nab a #1 seed.

As February is coming to close, the college basketball season is heating up. If you want to win your office pool take a look at Zach's Top 16 each week. Since the NCAA basketball tournament went to 64 teams in 1985, the #6 seeded Villanova Wildcats have been the lowest seed ever to capture the crown. Even though there is 68 teams in this year's March Madness edition, you really need to only look at these 16. The early round upsets make you look smart but getting but having all four teams left is where the money is won. Here is my rankings for the last week of February 2011.
