Top 25 Picks - Results

Record: 14-5
Record in ranked v. ranked games: 1-3

Summary: The "big picks" were all wrong by me.  Jared Sullinger is insane, and Ohio State will remain #1 next week.  KU's "call it until they lose" home winning streak resulted in another wrong pick, including the forecasted top ranking.  Villanova has solidified its spot as at least the Big East's #2 team, as Cuse goes 0-2 in big games for the week.  I was correct in shying away from calling several popular upset picks (Tennessee, KSU, South Carolina, MSU, Marquette, St. Mary's, Northwestern), but failed to call the money picks involving the top three teams. 

Pick I should have gotten right: #1 Ohio State over #23 Illinois.  I need to watch more of Mr. Sullinger.

Pick you can't blame me for getting wrong: Providence over #19 Louisville.  UL seems to drop two or three games each year to pathetic teams, but it's usually in non-conference play and it's tough to call exactly when it'll happen.  Can't say there were many "told you so"s on this one.
