" Like most hardcore college basketball fans, those of us around the Athlon Sports office like to contrast and compare.Sure, we have strong feelings about our top 25 and league picks &amp;mdash; and we hope we&amp;rsquo;re right &amp;mdash; but we like picking up the other magazines and checking how other publications evaluated the same information.Here&amp;rsquo;s how Athlon compared with other major college basketball publications including Lindy's, The Sporting News (TSN), USA Today (USA Today), Sports Illustrated, and the coaches' and Associated Press polls. Of course, Kentucky&amp;rsquo;s a popular pick, but there are plenty of places we have differences of opinion.AthlonLindy'sTSNUSATSI.comCoachesAP&amp;nbsp;1. Kentucky211211&amp;nbsp;2.
