College Basketball Rankings Ballot: November 19, 2012
While the rest of college sports wrings their hands over the specter of realignment rearing its ugly head again, college basketball is back. PUP did not rank the teams last week because I wasn’t going to judge teams off of their first games, but many teams now have 3 or 4 games under their belts. This is as good a time as ever to reveal the first PUP college basketball poll of the 2012-13 season.
