RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga I had Baylor here last week but jeeeeez. That Iowa game.
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor Drops from 1A to 1B, really. They're still streets ahead of the rest of the pack.
3 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Not docking Iowa at all. Gonzaga's just that efficient. Garza still went for 30 and 10!
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova
5 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas
6 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin I don't even know what to make of the Louisville game. Wisconsin shot lights out and Louisville was clearly not right from COVID.
7 University of Houston Logo Houston
8 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Not as dominant as 2020 Kansas, but still probably at least a 3-seed
9 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia
10 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee It's gonna be really weird seeing a team besides Kentucky just use the SEC as its plaything
11 Rutgers University Logo Rutgers Alright, you've sold me. Win twice in this B1G and you deserve this huge a jump.
12 University of Missouri Logo Missouri
13 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
14 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois Illinois is gonna be this year's version of last year's Purdue, eh? A few good wins but end up around .500 and metrics somehow love 'em?
15 Creighton University Logo Creighton
16 Xavier University Logo Xavier Oy, how's that for a first game back from pause?!
17 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Kentucky isn't a tournament team and the Heels still have some apparent offensive woes.
18 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Even Northwestern is a B1G cannibal. Yikes.
19 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech This team plays amazing defense but they've lost both of the real games they've played, so I'm not sold on them quite yet.
20 University of Michigan Logo Michigan
21 Florida State University Logo Florida State UCF got pounded by Michigan and beat Florida State by double digits, so that means Michigan must be better, right? Right?!?!
22 Duke University Logo Duke Congratulations to Duke on beating the 13th best team in the ACC. Their next bout is at home against the 11th best team.
23 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State The final score of the BYU game was misleading but they're on thin ice now that Arizona State is apparently a fraud.
24 Clemson University Logo Clemson Brownell
25 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Fringe: Virginia Tech, Florida, Virginia, Purdue, Indiana, Connecticut
