| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
(--) let the conference tourneys begin |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
(--) THIS IS MARCH |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
(+2) 3-6 close together, pretty much any ordering makes sense |
| 4 |
Duke
|
(-1) now they're merely mortal |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
(-1) can't feel good getting smacked in the mouth by Tennessee like that |
| 6 |
Tennessee
|
(+2) good job making everyone question the hierarchy of this conference |
| 7 |
LSU
|
(+3) didn't even realize I made an SEC block until I typed this message |
| 8 |
Michigan
|
(+3) I mean, you still have to face Sparty again |
| 9 |
Virginia Tech
|
(+5) good job taking down the ESPN-fueled juggernaut |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
(+1) they're not the best team in the conference, but they're the best by record, which is all that really counts |
| 11 |
Houston
|
(-5) is UCF a good team because they beat Houston, or were they already good? find out later on |
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
(-3) Indiana is making the tournament simply because of these here chuckleheads |
| 13 |
Florida State
|
(+3) just another week in the ACC I guess |
| 14 |
Marquette
|
(-7) rough time to lose momentum, hope it comes back before the conference tourney |
| 15 |
Texas Tech
|
(+2) still don't believe in *all* the hype, but at least they're my highest-ranked B12 team now |
| 16 |
Buffalo
|
(+4) it would be foolish to separate the mid-major pact |
| 17 |
Wofford
|
(+4) they're an at-large for sure, we may see a 2-bid SoCon if any upsets occur |
| 18 |
Kansas
|
(+6) for the first time in nearly 2 months, Kansas wins a road game without needing to go to OT |
| 19 |
Nevada
|
(-6) I get Utah St. isn't a bad team, but if you're truly a top-tier mid-major, you win those games |
| 20 |
Kansas State
|
(-5) the word of the day is "home court advantage" |
| 21 |
Cincinnati
|
(+2) multi-bid American looks to be a go |
| 22 |
Villanova
|
(NR) I feel like I just got rid of these guys, and here they come crawling back again |
| 23 |
VCU
|
(+2) a very hot team, but one that probably needs the conference tourney autobid to get in |
| 24 |
UCF
|
(NR) you have my attention, beat Cincinnati and you guys are in at-large conversations |
| 25 |
Old Dominion
|
(NR) congrats on the regular season title -- DROPPED: Iowa 18, Washington 19, Maryland 22 |
