RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke So this week's rankings come with the tournament field being announced, so they don't matter as much.
2 University of Virginia Logo Virginia I think this might be a little more of a power rankings approach rather than resume based (but of course both are taken into account)
3 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Healthy Zion has returned for Duke and looked dominant. They have to be seen as 1 with him
4 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Virginia also has a quite good argument for 1- incredible efficiency metrics, possibly highest KenPom going into tourney ever?
5 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee UNC very proven
6 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Tennessee starts this group of 4, who would be my 2 seeds
7 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky MSU looking good, winning the conference reg season and tourney. Tough loss of Ahrens, could be a rallying point?
8 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Not much to say about UK. Michigan looks very good defensively but seems to have an offensive lapse in big games
9 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Tough out in conference tourney, but body of work and defense are impressive
10 University of Houston Logo Houston
11 Florida State University Logo Florida State
12 Louisiana State University Logo LSU
13 Purdue University Logo Purdue
14 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State
15 University of Kansas Logo Kansas
16 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech
