By no means perfect.(College Basketball)
There were nine unbeaten major-conference teams entering the first week of the new year. In many cases, this was as much a feat of creative scheduling as basketball excellence. Three teams in particular are suspect: The collective 32-0 record of Georgetown, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt includes a combined total of eight major-conference victims, of which only two reached the NCAA Tournament last season.
Georgetown
Record: 10-0.
RPI strength of schedule: 310.
Best win: Penn State.
Road wins: Penn State, The Citadel.
Closer look: Georgetown needed a soft early schedule. Coach Craig Esherick bad been getting hammered by critics, and he was opening a critical season without star forward Mike Sweetney. The Hoyas were away from home only twice before January; they'll be on the road for four of six games beginning Saturday.
