1. Jim Boeheim (Syracuse) - He has done a great job with a team that experts predicted would do very little.
2. Bill Self (Kansas) - The return of Sherron Collins, Marcus Morris, Tyshawn Taylor and Cole Aldrich as one of the top teams in the nation.
3. John Calipari (Kentucky) - After finishing 22-14 (8-8 conf) last season,Calipari has the Wildcats back on track with a record of 29-2 (14-2 conf). Having the nation's number one point guard doesn't hurt either.
4. Mike Krzyzewski (Duke) - While unbeatable at home, losses on the road to NC State, Wisconsin and Georgia Tech make Duke a vulnerable team.
5. Thad Matta (Ohio St) - After finishing last season with a loss in the first round of the NCAA tourney to Siena. Ohio St has returned with a dynamic squad and a chance to have a first seed in this year's NCAA tournament.
