The Non-BCS Top 25 is a weekly follow-up to the popular

Weekly Top 50: NCAA Surprises Not as Big as You Think
March 22nd, 2010
by Shawn Siegel
The Collegehoops.net Top 50 Power Ranking is
your weekly window into the national college basketball scene. Is the Top 50
Better than the AP or the Coaches Polls? At the very least, the Top 50 has no
agenda like the coaches and we go deeper into the country than most
power-conference biased media members. The CHN Top 50 is brought to you before
everybody else late Sunday night! (New: Check out the weekly
Non-BCS Top 25
Ranking.)
NCAA Tournament: Best & Worst of Each Seed
March 17th, 2010
by Shawn Siegel
When ever two college basketball teams meet for one game, luck always plays a big part. The best team doesn't necessarily always win. Good players have off days and bad players get hot. Thus picking a perfect bracket, even if you legitimately know which teams are better, is impossible. But you can increase your chances of bracket success by avoiding some obvious pitfalls and nailing the underrated squads.

NCAA Bracket Contests: Top 16 to Enter
March 16th, 2010
by Shawn Siegel
A little low on cash because of the struggling economy? Need
a little economic stimulus? The NCAA Tournament is a good way to earn some
back.. you could win up to $100,000,00 getting a perfect bracket (then again,
the odds are a bazillion to one so you're better off playing PowerBall),
thousands of dollars beating the masses in other games, or setting up your own
pool and taking a cut of the action. Now matter how you do it, you need to play
to win.

by Shawn Siegel
When you watch as much of the
NCAA Tournament as us die-hards do.. you inevitably form close bonds with the
announcers on CBS. Some are strong congenial caring bonds.. others I could do
without. Here is the CBS college basketball roster, including links to profiles

out my announcer rating from last year)
CHN's Bracketology Nails More Teams Then Anyone Else!
March 14th, 2010
by Shawn Siegel
As CHN readers know, I project the
NCAA Bracket weekly. Here's how my final Sunday afternoon bracket did compared
to reality. Out of 80+ bracketologists tracked by the
Bracket Project,
I nailed the most teams to their exact seed.. 36 out of the 65 teams!
This is a whopping 9 more then Joe Lunardi and 5 more then Jerry Palm of CBS.
According to Bracket Project, I was 4th out of the 80+ bracketologists, but I
dominated all the name competition: CBS, ESPN, Rivals, SI, Yahoo were all left
in the dust.
