There is no movement in Monday morning's updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings just like there was also no movement in Sunday morning's updated Top 25 And 1.
It was a slow weekend. Blame Thanksgiving.
And, spoiler alert, there will also be no movement in Tuesday morning's updated Top 25 And 1 because zero ranked teams play Monday. But have you seen Tuesday's schedule?
Oh boy, it's a good one.
Check this out:
That's three games featuring the six schools that are responsible for 16 of the past 21 national championships. I know that sounds like a made-up sentence -- but it's actually true. There are currently 365 schools playing Division I basketball (for reasons that make no sense) -- and exactly six of them are responsible for 76.2% of the past 21 national championships.
UConn won the title in 2004, 2011, 2014, 2023 and 2024. North Carolina won the title in 2005, 2009 and 2017. Florida won the title in 2006, 2007 and 2025. Duke won the title in 2010 and 2015. Kansas won the title in 2008 and 2022. And Kentucky won the title in 2012. Incredibly, In a nine-year stretch from the 2003-04 season through the 2011-12 season, the NCAA Tournament was won by one of these six schools, and they'll be matched up against each other Tuesday -- more specifically under the lights at historically significant venues like Cameron Indoor Stadium (Florida-Duke), Allen Fieldhouse (UConn-Kansas) and Rupp Arena (North Carolina at Kentucky).
Bottom line, the neutral-court stuff we got last week was fine, I guess. But the good stuff is when big brands visit other big brands in true home-road environments featuring capacity crowds and student sections. And that's what we'll get Tuesday. It's a good night to stay in.
Before I get you out of here ...
TRIVIA TIME!
Since 2003, only four schools not named UConn, Duke, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky or North Carolina have won national championships. Can you name them?
