Running this a day late, but here’s a tally of what the hoops bloggers deem to be the correct list of the 25 best teams in the country. Itis what we have assessed, as a group, with any of the AP rankings that significantly differ from any of ours for each team set in parentheses and first place votes at the top in bold. Obviously, if there are no numbers in parentheses, then our rankings match the AP voters’ or are within three spots in the rankings. Note: the voting is done before Monday night’s games are finished.
