It’s the first week of a new year, and there are still more than two months until Selection Sunday. Here’s what we know about this season’s college basketball landscape, with certainty.

The same is true for Gonzaga.
John Beilein’s Michigan team looks better than the one that went to the national championship last year.
Nevada is as good as advertised.
Virginia is much better than advertised.
There are at least nine teams harboring realistic national title hopes, and another 10 that shouldn’t feel silly dreaming about a Final Four right now.
