Top Twenty (1/5)

I had email today asking about my Top Twenty.  I've been lax about doing that this year, but here's the ratings as of today:

Position	AP	Team	Rating
1	1	Kentucky	31.70
2	22	Ohio State	30.72
3	2	Duke	30.62
4	3	Virginia	30.18
5	4	Wisconsin	30.00
6	18	North Carolina	29.80
7	13	Notre Dame	29.78
8	5	Louisville	29.61
9	6	Gonzaga	29.51
10	9	Utah	29.24
11	10	Texas	29.23
12	8	Villanova	29.06
13	14	West Virginia	29.05
14	NR	Butler	28.62
15	7	Arizona	28.61
16	16	Oklahoma	28.60
17	NR	Illinois	28.45
18	NR	Michigan State	28.42
19	NR	Baylor	28.40
20	11	Maryland	28.30

I've included the AP rankings for comparison.  Kentucky is very strong -- as much stronger than the #2 than the #2 is of #7.  The PM likes Ohio State, North Carolina and Notre Dame much more than the poll.  Conversely, it doesn't think as much of Arizona, Villanova or Maryland.  Butler is probably the biggest darkhorse in this list, although they did receive votes in the AP poll.
