SI College Basketball Power Rankings: Where are the truly elite teams this season?

Posted Dec 17, 2015
9. North Carolina: Why have a two-loss UNC team ahead of undefeated Purdue and Xavier? The first part of the answer is that the Tar Heels should be evaluated as a one-loss team, given that they’ve only lost once with Marcus Paige in the lineup. The second part is that they have quality wins. The third part is that I still think they’d beat everyone ranked below them on a neutral court. (Sports Illustrated)
