College Basketball bounces in next week, and SPORTS ILLUSTRATED'S annual Special Issue includes a selection of the 20 best teams that will surprise most fans and many who fancy themselves experts. Readers will get a revealing insight into the mad chase that basketball recruiting has become.

All the pro and college football news and our regular departments round out a bonus package.
