Olympic Power Rankings: Team USA still on top of the world?

RIO DE JANEIRO -- There's no getting around it for your internationally known Committee (of One).

It was precisely 12 days ago in this cyberspace when we wrote that the United States would "romp to the gold" in Olympic men's basketball.

And we flat-out got it wrong.

Team USA is the only undefeated team left in the tournament at 5-0 ... but there has been precious little romping to date for the red, white and blue.

Yet there's a happy consolation for everyone in the wake of our original, less-than-flawless forecast: This tournament has flung so many curveballs at us already that we had to come back with an updated edition of ESPN.
