College Hoops Barometer: The First Noel

While conference realignment is by and large a product of college football, the effect on college basketball has been no less dramatic. As new, tweaked conferences are born, storied rivalries go out the window. Say goodbye to Duke vs. Maryland, as the Terps head to the Big Ten. Hasta la vista, Georgetown vs. Syracuse, with the Orange moving to the ACC. The Big East in particular is taking a huge hit in basketball after being arguably the top conference the last few seasons. The conference will look drastically different without the likes of Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, to name a few. Even the actual name of the conference could change with addition of teams not located near or along the eastern seaboard.

Still, new rivalries will undoubtedly emerge, and hopefully teams with traditional matchups will continue to play in the non-conference portion of their schedules.

Without further ado, let's look at this week's College Hoops Barometer.
