At the launch of ESPN’s Basketball Power Index (BPI) in 2014-15, the No. 1 team in the country was clear. The Kentucky Wildcats were 11-0 and only beginning to hit their stride. At this point of the 2015-16 season, the race for the top team is more competitive. There are about 10 teams – including Michigan State (11-0), Kansas(8-1), Iowa State (9-0), Oklahoma (7-0) and Purdue (11-0) – that can make a claim to be the top team in the country.
