saw this from ESPN:

5. Xavier at Villanova, Jan. 29: These are the two top teams in the Big East, and one is trying to repeat as national champ. Love the point-guard matchup between Xavier’s Edmond Sumner and Nova’s Jalen Brunson, and there’s also the potential Trevon Bluiett-Josh Hart battle. The atmosphere should be phenomenal for this one.

Prediction: Nova

14. Virginia at Villanova, Jan. 29: The Cavaliers have been the ACC’s best team over the past couple of years and Tony Bennett is considered one of the best coaches in the game. Jay Wright is coming off a national title and has three starters back. I hope these two programs keep this series going.

Prediction: Villanova

After watching Baylor dismantle Oregon and MSU, I want to add the Xavier-Baylor game (at Baylor) to this list. It's Dec. 3 and if both teams remain undefeated until that game, both teams will be top 10.

Yep. Baylor will get tested for sure tomorrow in Wichita or Louisville. Win there, and they will be top 10 going into the game.
