Submitted on Monday, November 11, 2019 at 12:22AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
(+2) Nice win over my #2 team last week. The blend of talented youth + veteran leadership was evident |
| 2 |
Louisville
|
(+3) Taking care of business, destroyed a bad Miami team on the road to open the year |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(+3) Nice win in an ugly game with my #1 Kansas last week, I could see them anywhere in the top 3 and not complain |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
(-2) Need someone other than Cassius to step up in Langford's absence |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
(-4) Ugly game. Willing to chalk it up to 1st game jitters for now but those turnovers... yikes |
| 6 |
Gonzaga
|
(+1) Played some terrible teams this week and the results show it |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
(+1) Will go as far as Cole Anthony will take them, still need a 2nd option to emerge and to get healthy |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
(+1) Not much going on, beat Army like they should have. @ my #12 OSU this week will be a big test |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
(+1) I think Syracuse is going to be a bad team but that is still an impressive opening night win. Defense has never left the menu for UVA |
| 10 |
Maryland
|
(+1) Good showing vs. Rhode Island |
| 11 |
Texas Tech
|
(+1) Destroyed some terrible teams and the results show it |
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
(+3) Great win vs. Cincy. Nova @home this week will be a big test for both teams |
| 13 |
Florida
|
(-9) I said I was buying in... and they do THAT. They can't beat FSU for some reason. This feels like the right area for them rn for me |
| 14 |
Seton Hall
|
(-1) The struggle w/o Powell was concerning but expected, don't expect them to beat MSU especially if Powell cant play |
| 15 |
Memphis
|
(-1) Keeping them here until we are 100% sure what is going to come of the Wiseman situation. He's currently playing, so they stay |
| 16 |
Oregon
|
(+2) Not great opponents, but at least they weren't 300+ ranked opponents. Getting Memphis in Portland will tell me a lot about both |
| 17 |
Washington
|
(+6) I wasn't entirely confident in my ranking of them but that was a tough win over my #16 Baylor. Isaiah Stewart is a stud |
| 18 |
Baylor
|
(-2) Lost when I thought they were going to win. Choke the lead away at the end but its not the end of the world. |
| 19 |
Arizona
|
(-) |
| 20 |
Auburn
|
(NR) Huge win over a Davidson team I was and still am really high on |
| 21 |
Utah State
|
(-1) Dont love playing Montana St. to single digits but then they destroyed Weber so I'm not terribly concerned |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
(-1) Not much going on. Have to beat Missouri at home to prove they belong |
| 23 |
Florida State
|
(+2) I thought they'd go 1-1 this week, they just won the game I thought they would lose. Pitt losing to Nicholls doesn't help their case |
| 24 |
Saint Mary's
|
(NR) Nice win over a decent? Wisconsin team. Really could have gone either way but they take Purdue's spot for me |
| 25 |
VCU
|
(-1) Don't love the North Texas win by 3. (Out - Purdue, Davidson) (Next 5 - Colorado, Texas, LSU, Tennessee, Davidson) |
