I would think us vs. Bucky would be pretty high too.
7) USC at Oklahoma – Dec. 4
uhhh, am i missing something here...
Per Andy Katz @ ESPN:
16. Oklahoma
The Sooners might have one of the top draft picks on their roster next season in Blake Griffin. He has a chance to bully his way in the post toward a Big 12 player of the year award. Add in the return of shooting guard Tony Crocker and a solid recruiting class, and the Sooners can legitimately challenge for the league title.
This might be creating some of the buzz. Other than that I am not sure, as USC isn't even in many preseason polls.

I think the allure to this one is that West Virginia is coached by Huggy and they should be top 5 Big East. Also, Ohio State does continue to reel in elite talent so they could be in the hunt for a Big Ten title.
Plus I'm sure after Huggy's time in "the 'Nati" there is bound to be some animosity , even if it may solely created by ESPN.

There is long standing hatred between the two schools stemming more from the football side of the equation. "Little sister" syndrome. I know, UC hasn't beaten Ohio State in a century, but the Bearcats are one of the oldest football programs in the country.

I am more than well aware of griffin...it still begs the question of how this could possibly be the #7 rated matchup.
My guess is that these are all national tv games. MU-UW is probably not a national tv game.
