Submitted on Monday, December 2, 2019 at 9:06AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan
|
+19 Best resume in the country. Brooks and Livers have become great complements to Simpson and Teske. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
+3 On paper the team I like most to win the title. Starting to play like it |
| 3 |
Maryland
|
+3 Held Markus Howard to 6 pts on 1-12 after he scored 51 and 40. |
| 4 |
Louisville
|
-1 |
| 5 |
Ohio State
|
+5 Six straight victories by 19 or more points |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
+1 |
| 7 |
Dayton
|
NR This isn’t a one man team. Dayton can compete with anyone. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
-4 Their 3 pt shooting is incredibly shaky. Need to get that together if they want to go deep in March. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
-1 |
| 10 |
Oregon
|
-1 |
| 11 |
Duke
|
-9 Lost to SFA and struggled with Winthrop for most of the game. Hopefully for them Stanley is back sometime soon. |
| 12 |
Kentucky
|
= How do play #1 on a neutral and have a strength of schedule #320? Ask Kentucky. |
| 13 |
Michigan State
|
-12 Huge drop for a 5 point loss and 2-1 week record seems harsh... But the same VT team lost to Dayton and BYU by a billion. |
| 14 |
Seton Hall
|
-3 |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
= Huge couple Saturdays coming up @Baylor and vs The Zags |
| 16 |
Auburn
|
= |
| 17 |
Colorado
|
-3 Having a really tough time scoring in the first half. Love that they are finding a way to win but a bit worried overall. |
| 18 |
Utah State
|
-4 No shame in losing at Moraga without your 2nd best player and only getting 3 points from your third best player. USU will be fine. |
| 19 |
San Diego State
|
NR Win a good tournament impressively and you’re in the top 25. |
| 20 |
Florida State
|
NR Ditto SDSU |
| 21 |
Tennessee
|
-4 |
| 22 |
Temple
|
NR Stack up Temple and Memphis' resumes. Temple SOS 75, Memphis 253. Temple 4 wins away from home, Memphis 1. |
| 23 |
Memphis
|
-2 Both 6-1, Memphis 8 point loss to #10, Temple 7 point loss to #3. Memphis 0 double digit wins vs good teams, Temple 2. |
| 24 |

| 25 |
Butler
|
NR Next 10: Oklahoma State, Arkansas, WVU, DePaul, Xavier, VCU, Villanova, Florida, Texas Tech, St. Marys) |
