Duke, UCLA In Top Five Of First Poll

Everyone on the internet already was " a buzz" about the potential Duke-UCLA matchup in the 2K Sports Classic Championship Game, but now the stakes got a little bit higher.

The ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll has made its first appearance for the new college basketball season and the Bruins and Blue Devils are 4th and 5th, respectively, going into the tournament.

WOW!!!!!

A Top 5 matchup before we even dine on the bird at T'giving.

And if you look at the early brackets in the tournament, both the Bruins and Blue Devils should make their way to New York City. The Houston Cougars could give Duke a challenge in the second round, while the Bruins will get a game from the Weber State/ Miami (OH) winner.

Can I say it again... WOW!!!!!!
