Houston10-0
Baylor9-0
Clemson9-0
James Madison9-0
Oklahoma9-0
Ole Miss9-0
Arizona8-0
You are correct. There are 7 teams. I missed Ole Miss because they were in the middle of the standings due to not playing any SEC games yet and listed in alphabetical order.
82
 
Current undefeated teams heading into today's slate of games.

Good grief, James Madison has the sports teams. Football goes 10-2 and basketball is undefeated. Glad we got their football coach! Who’s their basketball coach? ;)

Well shit. Must have been user error on my part when I hit the sort button.
 
Baylor, Clemson, Zona all fell today.

Im surprised Zona couldnt do a better job of shutting down Smith & Loyer

Oklahoma plays an overrated UNC this week.
 
Oklahoma got beat.
Who is left?
Houston, James Madison, Ol Miss

I'm rooting for Houston to run the table undefeated, just so I can witness the meltdown that would occur here having Kelvin Sampson coach an undefeated champion. I know it won't happen, but imagine the scenes if it did.
 
Purdue looked strong against AZ. The key to beating them is to pressure Smith and Loyer to force turn overs. If you allow them to run the offense and make shots, game over as their inside/outside game is too good.

Won’t be as easy to bully their two guards this year. They’re a real threat to win it all.

I hate the thought.

Then quit thinking it ..

There's a giant hole in the middle of their defense that can and will be exploited by the right teams. The reason not many do is because the hole is mid game.. and mid game just isn't a priority for many players or teams. It's all 3 and rim..

Look at the shot charts in their loss this year and losses last year. Right side of, or near, the lane, under 3pt line.. that's the Edey vacuum. That's the breakdown you can play off of and exploit.

Frankenzach is an absolute physical and statistical outlier, and a force offensively, he also eats a lot of space defensively .. but his feet are concrete boot slow, once he drops he can't rotate back and they just don't have the defensive ability with their perimeter players to make up for that... they're also slow.

Stopping them offensively .. that's a different ball game... but it seems not keying on Edey but instead pressuring their guards has worked.

All that plus have a guard or two play their best game of a lifetime will do it.

James Madison and Ol Miss finally tasted defeat. The Rebs are getting crushed by the UT Orange.
Great runs for both teams. Will be interesting to see how they respond.
That leaves one team left: Houston and CKS. Will they stay unbeaten until their road game at Kansas on Feb 3rd?
 
Ol Miss just beat Memphis to stay undefeated ion a close game.
Beard > Penny. (Neither team played great D)
The Ol Miss pg Murray is the real deal. Best I have seen based on one game. Triple threat.
Beard is the best young coach in the game, zero chance Buckner and Dolson target Beard even with his GF retracting the story which caused Texas to can him. Texas is sinking now just like IU!

That would be a mistake.
