No signifcant changes in the first polls since play started with the exception of Michigan State and Pittsburgh trading places.
But that could all change later this week. If UCLA beats Michigan and Duke defeats Southern Illinois in the semifinals of the 2K Sports Classic Benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer in New York, the two would play for the championship in the first meeting of the season between two top 10 teams.

Am I the only one who finds it ridiculous that ESPN has it’s own poll? I hate when reading stuff on their website they only refer to their own poll. I’ve been considering creating my own poll and only referring my own rankings in future posts.
ESPN is basically garbage, but there’s nothing else really
