Submitted on Sunday, February 24, 2019 at 8:42PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
#1 in SOR and WAB. Not every one of their games is gonna be against Duke. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
Probably would be #1 without those injuries but UVA has a slightly better resume. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
Win at Michigan along with their already strong resume catapults them to 3. |
| 4 |
North Carolina
|
Pretty good the past four weeks is an understatement. |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
Not the greatest resume (8, 6 in WAB, SOR) but have been perfect since start of Jan. Eye test gives them +1 or 2 spots up to 5. |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
Incredibly convincing last few weeks would put them in the top 5 of most polls. But MSU, UNC, and Zags have also been red-hot. |
| 7 |
Michigan
|
|
| 8 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 9 |
Houston
|
Playing better than Kansas despite a *slightly* worse resume. |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
One of Bill Self's worst games ever. But they still have a top 10 resume. #9 in WAB and SOR. I eval teams as if it were for the tourney. |
| 11 |
Purdue
|
|
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
Hottest team in the country since their loss at Kansas, but whole body of work has them low. I'd project them to be a F4 team right now. |
| 13 |
LSU
|
|
| 14 |
Marquette
|
|
| 15 |
Florida State
|
|
| 16 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 17 |
Maryland
|
|
| 18 |
Virginia Tech
|
|
| 19 |
Kansas State

|
| 20 |

Mississippi State

| 23 |
Buffalo
|
|
| 24 |
Louisville
|
|
| 25 |
Cincinnati
|
26. Wofford ( really close between Cincy, Wofford, and Louisville) 27. Iowa State 28. Washington |
