Are the Bruins Really #1 in the Nation?

http://ncaabasketball.aolsportsblog.com/2006/12/18/ucla-is-no-1-in-the-polls-but-are-the-bruins-the-nations-best/

The Bruins are still undefeated and undoubtedly deserve their #1 ranking. But the question is, are they the best team in the nation. It is tough to say especially with both UNC and Ohio State really picking up steam. Florida also returns all five starters from last year, a squad that crushed the Bruins in the national title game last year. It is far too early to tell who will be good come March, but as of now it might be safe to say that the Bruins are the best team in the West.
