Week 2 Preview

Big 12/SEC Challenge

There are 4 top 25 games in this challenge:

#23 Texas A&M vs. #13 Memphis -- Both teams are coming off a loss, and if A&M loses this game, they can say bye bye to the top 25.

#21 Missouri vs. #12 Vanderbilt -- Missouri is coming off a win, Vandy a loss.

#9 Baylor vs. #22 Alabama -- Alabama would love to get past their loss to George Mason, winning this game would be a huge step.

#10 Kansas vs. #5 Florida -- A top 10 matchup that both teams want. Both teams had easy games in week 1.

Big Ten/A-Ten Challenge

#24 Michigan St. vs. Temple -- Michigan St. broke into the top 25 this week, while Temple narrowly missed it. The roles could be reversed if Temple wins this game.

Murray St. vs. Richmond -- Both teams pulled upsets in week 1, with Murray beating UConn and Richmond beating Memphis. This is a good draw for both teams.

Pac 12/ACC Challenge

Stanford vs. Harvard -- OK so basketball wise, this may not be a great matchup. Harvard is improving and Stanford isn't what they once were, so it could be a more even matchup. Academically, Stanford has always been called the "Harvard of the West", so this matchup is intriguing for that alone.

Loyola Marymount vs. Davidson -- I threw this matchup in there because as far as I can tell, its the only matchup between 1-0 teams.

The matchups for the Big East/MWC challenge have not been drawn yet, so I will have a separate preview for that later.
