After another weekend of upsets and upheaval in college men's basketball, Kansas appears poised to return to the top spot when the new USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches Poll is released today. Maybe.
Eight of the top 14 teams in last week's poll, including No. ?1 Duke, lost during the weekend, again pointing out the amount of parity the NCAA basketball committee will have to sort through when teams are selected and seeded for the tournament in less than two weeks.
The Blue Devils fell at Virginia Tech. Also going down Saturday or Sunday were San Diego State, Texas, Pittsburgh, Arizona, Georgetown, Florida and Villanova.
No. 2 Kansas, which beat Oklahoma on Saturday, and No. 3 Ohio State, which whipped Indiana on Sunday, escaped the upset bug this weekend. OSU was second and Kansas third in last week's Associated Press poll, and the Jayhawks were only nine points ahead of Ohio State in the most recent coaches poll.
The last time those polls had different teams ranked first was in November 2008.
Kansas led in the coaches poll two weeks ago, but the Jayhawks were No. 1 for about 12 hours before losing at Kansas State. They play Wednesday against No. 17 Texas A&M.
