Why Duke, Kansas and Tennessee aren't on my AP college basketball top 25 ballot

Posted Dec 10, 2018
To avoid playing on another team’s campus altogether is a sin of cowardice and ego that eventually can’t be ignored — like when we’re more than a month into the college basketball season. So this week I removed Duke, Kansas, Tennessee, Auburn, Texas Tech, Kentucky, Villanova and Texas from my AP top 25 ballot. As soon as they play a true road game, they’ll be back on my ballot.
