I went with Kansas. You can make an argument for all these teams, but I just love Kansas and their entire team.

osu, only becuase they've been the most consistant for so long. and all of their losses have come to the top teams in the country. unc, florida, and wisconson

I'd say either OSU or Kansas right now.
And I would agree...those two are playing the best "right now", but I'm not sure I would say that of the whole season. Honestly, I don't think KU will get a 1 seed...it's really close at the moment. I'd give it to A&M ahead of KU at this point...in terms of who they lost to and the head-to-head.

OSU hasn't had that tough a conference schedule...so it might also be the UConn factor where they are looking solid because they haven't played the best teams, though...they did look pretty solid at Wisco. The fact that they had multiple chances in non-conference to get a marquee win and failed is rough for them...and might complicate their #1 seed as well
I vote UCLA
For the whole season...this is my vote...toughest conference, hardest schedule, only 3 losses (all on the road), counterbalanced with a big win over A&M, and Kentucky and Georgia Tech(sort of)

Their 3 losses are by a combined 14 points (OSU and Florida each have one loss alone that is basically that big). They won the Maui Invitational (UConn won it last year), and have followed up every loss with a series of impressive wins.

Aside from the fact that they were nasty last year...and still managed to hold it together after losing their leading scorer...they are home to the most consistent and smothering defense outside of Kansas. And they have the experienced leadership that OSU lacks.

But, since UCLA isn't in the poll...I went homer and picked KU

the most possible games they could have left is like 10-11....

osu... easily most consistent

ucla would be a close second

For their last 10 games...yes...but in the Pre-Oden period, and in their initial games after getting him, not so much.

At home...completely different story...if they had beaten Wisco @Wisco...I'd be impressed.

Or Florida at Florida, or UNC at UNC...they've had their chances to get that marquee road win...it just isn't there.

They are 1-3 vs. teams with a number beside their name.

I'm really not happy that support is being thrown behind KU...even though it is logical based on how they are playing. I remember last year they won 15 of their last 17, and all of the sudden they went from a bubble/outside the top 25 team to like #12 and a 4 seed, who many people had in the Elite 8/Final Four...and well, we know how that one ended.

I was secretly kind of hoping they'd fly under the radar until Selection Sunday, and then get talked about being a 2 seed or something...
