I'll throw this in here. Fran Fraschilla for his blog picked 10 individual matchups he can't wait to see this season. The relevant part for us...
Greg Monroe (Georgetown) vs. Luke Harangody (Notre Dame) Although they both play center for their respective teams, neither one of these guys is your classic back-to-the-basket pivot man. But both will have to have dominant seasons to give their teams a chance to get back to the NCAA tournament after missing out last season.
Harangody is like a knuckleball pitcher, keeping defenses off balance with quick-release jump hooks and an improved shooting touch from outside. He averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds last season, making him the only player in the country to finish in the top 10 in both scoring and rebounding.
On the other hand, Monroe's strength is his mobility and versatility for a player who is 6-10. His monster game against Hasheem Thabeet and UConn last December looked like the beginning of a dominant freshman season. Instead, the Hoyas ended up 2-6 in games in which he took 10 or more shots. He will need to become a bigger scoring threat as a sophomore.

Andy Katz's top 25 looks the best to me at a quick glance.
