Power Rankings
1 Kansas (9) 0-0 249 What's there not to like? The Jayhawks have two potential first-team All-Americans (Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich), a national championship coach and a host of freshmen ready to step right in. Nine of our 10 pollsters have KU No. 1.
2 Michigan State (1) 0-0 233 The Spartans left the 2009 Final Four in the No. 2 spot and that's where we'll start them this season. Goran Suton will be missed -- as will Travis Walton's D -- but Tom Izzo always finds a way. Having Kalin Lucas at the point doesn't hurt.
3 Texas 0-0 227 KU's biggest challenger for the national title might just be its Big 12 brethren from Austin. The Longhorns are loaded. Who could blame Damion James for wanting to come back and play with transfer Jai Lucas and the star-studded freshman class?
4 Kentucky 0-0 218 Unless you were shipped to a different planet in the spring and are just now returning, you've probably heard about UK's new coach. His name is John Calipari and he plans on renovating Rupp Arena with some new banners. Big Blue Nation approves.
