CNN 's Jeff Borzello , Joe Lunardi and Myron Medcalf discuss the current college basketball landscape a month into the season .

With UConn 's early decline, the path seems open for a new champion, but whom? No team has emerged as the clear front-runner at this point.

North Carolina's RJ Davis , Alabama 's Mark Sears and Kansas ' Hunter Dickinson have been far more inconsistent than expected.

Marquette has lost just once, at Iowa State , and boasts what is approaching a No. 1 seed-type résumé.

Johni Broome was clearly the guy to beat ahead of Auburn 's road test against Louisville on Sunday .

Duke is first in adjusted defensive efficiency on KenPom.com .

North Carolina's lack of a frontcourt has hampered the Tar Heels' chances of reaching the Final Four .

Even with two fewer teams, the SEC will get more NCAA tournament bids than the Big Ten or ACC .

I expect the SEC to comprise half of this year 's Final Four and pose a genuine threat for the league's first national championship since Kentucky in 2012 .
