At roughly the halfway point of the 2008-2009 college basketball season, we as fans have been treated to a little bit of everything. Three undefeated teams are still fighting for immortality, the nation's preseason favorite can't even win a conference game, and guys named Meeks, Curry, Holston and McAlarney are giving opposing coaches a lesson in just how dangerous the three-point shot can be.

But the dunks...oh, the dunks have been as good as ever.

It seems like every single night there's another freakish athlete making a name for himself with a huge flush. So to help fight some of that middle of the week boredom, here's a countdown of the top 15 dunks we've seen so far this season. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
