One of these 12 college basketball teams will very likely win it all
Posted Dec 13, 2017
Historically speaking, the week six AP Poll has been measurably more accurate in predicting that season’s national champion than its predecessors in prior weeks. Week six is just as good at ranking the eventual champion as any future poll. The eventual national champion has been ranked no lower than No. 12 in the week six poll every season but one since 1999.
