This is the first weekend without football of the college basketball season, and we must say that the schedule could have been planned a little better. Still, there are plenty of great games, highlighted by Kansas at Kentucky, the showpiece game in the Big 12/SEC challenge. There are two more games between two ranked teams, and there probably would be three if the pollsters had a better idea of just how good Purdue is. With the Super Bowl next week, college basketball is about to take center stage in the sports world, and not a moment too soon in what is shaping up to be an excellent finish.
Picks: Kansas-Kentucky Leads the Big 12/SEC Challenge and the Weekend's Best
