Though the college basketball season is coming into the quarter-way point as we enter Week 6, it is safe to say that a lot of hand-picked expectations from fans and experts have gone a little bit south. The college basketball landscape has seen its fair share of upsets in the young season and already, two No. 1 teams have fallen, three of the top-10 teams in the AP Poll have taken losses, and certain preseason locks in the top-10 are on the outside looking in heading into this week.
The young season is still ions away from reaching its peak, though. To very little surprise, the Kansas Jayhawks are the new top dog in the country with their still-unblemished record, followed by the one-loss Duke Blue Devils, who have another date with an Ivy League opponent in Princeton coming up.
The upstart Tennesee Volunteers, after shockingly upsetting the former No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs this past Saturday in Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, will climb up four spots from No. 7 to No. 3.
A fresh batch of Week 6 matchups are coming up as early as today, and all top-25 matchups through the weekend are listed below.
