Look who's #1 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll this week, Ohio State. Yes, they may have the best class of freshmen in the nation. Ohio State only has 11 first place votes but more points than UCLA, who has 13 first place votes. They haven't really beaten anyone yet and they don't have their man, Greg Oden, yet. They have no reason to not be at the top spot since they started the season at 3, but they haven't really earned the top spot yet. Regardless, UNC should knock them off on Wednesday, that is going to be a great game. UCLA is a great team and they should be #1. UCLA beat both Kentucky and Georgia Tech last week to win the Maui Invitational. The next big game they have is 12/9 vs. Texas A&M, a team that is looking to have a real big year, should be a good game.
