College basketball had one of its busiest weekends of the season. With two of the top three teams going down, who remains standing in the Power 10?

The college basketball season is off to a hectic start. A second top-ranked team in the nation, Kentucky Wildcats, already lost, meaning Villanova is already the third team to be ranked No. 1 this season and it’s only the start of the December.

North Carolina also lost, meaning two of the top three teams in the nation fell in a week where many ranked teams played each other.

Also, the ACC easily took down the Big Ten in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge this season, as they asserted themselves as the best conference in the nation. The ACC won 9-5 and the worry that there is no elite team in the Big Ten continues, even with Indiana’s upset win over North Carolina.

In a year where no one expected any team to run away with the championship or run the table, only 11 undefeated teams remain. With no perennial powerhouses like Kentucky, Duke or Kansas still undefeated, the idea of the national title being an open race is still there.

There has been no clear-cut best team in the nation so far, which will make the 2016-17 season even more exciting come conference play.
