After (1) Illinois lost last night in at Ohio State, and (2)North Carolina beat (6)Duke do you think that UNC can be #1, or is Illinois still above everyone else?

Illini will still be #1, and get a #1 seed, no doubt

Illinois will still have a number one seed, but they will lose the number one ranking, UNC wasn't very far behind in points.

I agree. The Big 10 is weak but they are still clearly the #1.

The bracket people are able to look at things more liberally then the pollsters. They have more license to use their own judgment since they aren't held accountable week-to-week.

With one loss I say Illinois.

Of course I live in Illinois, so rank them thusly:

#1 Illinois/Kentucky
#3 Southern Illinois
