Submitted on Sunday, November 29, 2020 at 11:10PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
It's them and then everyone else. I'm early on it but this is the best team i've seen since the 2018 Villanova Wildcats |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
THRASHED Washington, and yeah Washington isn't good but it was impressive |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
|
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
|
| 5 |
Illinois
|
You could put 3-5 in any order and I wouldn't complain but Illinois at hte bottom due to struggling with a quality Ohio tram |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
I only drop them one spot because despite the loss, they lost to Gonzaga on their opening game |
| 7 |
Houston
|
The first major adjustment off the first week of the season, this will def change but for now gotta shake it up |
| 8 |
Creighton
|
|
| 9 |
Duke
|
|
| 10 |
West Virginia
|
didn't beat any one super overwhelming but all were solid teams also didn't lose |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 12 |
Virginia Tech
|
do I really believe they are better than Villanova? no I don't but I don't have a case to rank Villanova ahead of them right now with H2H |
| 13 |
Villanova
|
Took a drop, perimeter defense is lacking and offense has looked stagnant at times. That said they've slept walked and still looked top15 |
| 14 |
Tennessee
|
they didnt play |
| 15 |
Texas Tech
|
not going to knock them for a loss to Houston |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
it was ugly but they aren't that bad |
| 17 |
Richmond
|
Richmond is not just the best mid major but a legit top 20 team and was able to exploit a young Kentucky team. Two weeks with WVU looms |
| 18 |
Arizona State
|
|
| 19 |
Texas
|
|
| 20 |
Kentucky
|
rough loss but they are young and will figure it out. Remain top 25 based off talent. Champions Classic provides a chance to fic it |
| 21 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 22 |
Florida State
|
|
| 23 |
Rutgers
|
|
| 24 |
UConn
|
|
| 25 |
Alabama
|
Others Considered: SDSU, SLU.... and thats basically it |
