The ultimate guide to the men's college basketball season: Final Four picks, Player of the Year predictions and top storylinesselection committee will release its first of six rankings at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday , revealing important clues about the contenders in the inaugural season of the 12-team playoff.
With six new committee members, a new bracket and new contenders, here are the top five questions for the group heading into its first rankings, followed by a snapshot of how it might look Tuesday night -- through 10 weeks of data.Ohio State's victory at Penn State on Saturday gave the Buckeyes their first statement win, and their one-point loss at Oregon is the way to lose if it happens -- on the road, in a close game against what should be the committee's No. 1 team.
Georgia earns this spot as the projected SEC champion -- even though it had its hands full on Saturday against a feisty Florida team playing with its backup quarterback. The Bulldogs' win at Texas on Oct. 19 is still one of the best in the country, and the close loss at Alabama won't hurt Georgia in the committee meeting room. The season-opening victory against Clemson is also good, even though the Tigers just lost to Louisville. Georgia is No.
