I know I'll get a lot of "it's way too early" talk on this, but for curiosity's sake, which of the following 2 loss teams would you say is best?
Georgetown Tennessee Michigan State Washington State UCLA Butler Indiana

i think brooklynhoya and harlemhoya need to go over to Roosevelt's Island for a little Mancation just the two of them and have a 'hate on the hoyas' picnic under a big elm tree.
UCLA is the best two-loss team, then very close between Hoyas/TN.

GU and UCLA in my quiet, biased, and humble opinion.

Brasky, there's absolutely no hate in my heart for the Hoyas- just having a tougher time this year dealing with the team's success than last year, for some reason.

Butler. Without a doubt. I mean, with just 2 losses to power house teams Cleveland State and Wright State, they have probably already booked plane reservations to San Antonio!

Tennesse probably. They're the only ones with a chance at giving Memphis a loss as of now (and for the rest of the reg season b/c of their schedule)

I like this better than last year, when we were having the "Who's the best 5-loss team?" conversation.

That's right. I know a lot of people have issues with the polls, but they seem dead on about this. UCLA is awesome. They seem to be as talented as UNC, but actually play defense. I would love to see those two teams play. After that, I don't think we have been consistenly playing our best ball right now, but I'd take us over MSU or Tennessee.

UCLA in my opinion, they are damn strong this year, all the ingredients a team needs; then Tennessee

From my limited viewing of their board, UCLA fans are just as worried about their team as we are about ours. Their losses are worse than ours, although their wins are better. I think we'd beat them on a neutral floor in April.

Money can settle every issue.
If someone told you to bet, say, $1,000 (or some other number that's significant for you) on a game between any two of these teams on a neutral court, who would you take?
Much as I'd like to take the Hoyas over the Bruins, I'd probably put my money on UCLA....right now, anyway.
But I'd take Georgetown over everyone else, including Tennessee.

Bruins, Hoyas, Tennessee. What UCLA has accomplished while constantly having key players out or semi-functional is amazing.
