Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 |
![]() |
LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
2 |
![]() |
LW: 4, +2. Duke's big win at Wisconsin vaults them up, but UK's second half dismantling of Texas keeps them at 1 |
3 |
![]() |
LW: 3, -1. They beat a very good Gonzaga, but Duke was almost my number one, so I unfortunately couldn't keep Zona at 2 |
4 |
![]() |
LW 5, +1. Big wins over solid Maryland and fading VCU impressed me |
5 |
![]() |
LW: 6. Nice win over Ohio State in B1G-ACC challenge |
6 |
![]() |
LW: 3, -3. Losing to Duke won't drop you far. The Badgers will likely be back in the top 5 another time or two this year |
7 |
![]() |
LW: 7. They beat flopping Florida, no drop, no bump |
8 |
![]() |
LW: 9, +1. |
9 |
![]() |
LW: 18, +9. I feel weird with this jump, but so many people lost, and there is a huge talent gap between 8 and 9 anyways |
10 |
![]() |
LW: 8, -2. Lost to a good Utah team |
11 |
![]() |
LW: 11. Lost to UK, and nobody below them seems better than they do |
12 |
![]() |
LW: 12. Losing to #3 Zona isn't too bad, plus, they are like Texas: teams below haven't looked better |
13 |
![]() |
LW: 10, -3. The Iowa loss hurts them, whether Iowa is good or not |
14 |
![]() |
LW: 19, +5. They benefit from almost everyone above them losing. |
15 |
![]() |
LW: 23, +8. Their loss to Tulsa can be overlooked with the big win over Nebraska. Even without McDermott, they look good |
16 |
![]() |
LW: 25, +9. A win against a traditional powerhouse bolsters their resume even more |
17 |
![]() |
LW: N/A, +9. They were borderline ranked last week, and the win over the Shockers vaulted them up |
18 |
![]() |
LW: 15, -3. The loss to a questionable LSU drops Huggins & Co. |
19 |
![]() |
LW: 14, -5. While UW-Green Bay will probably win the Horizon League, previously undefeated Miami should've handled them |
20 |
![]() |
LW: 17, -3. Losses to pretty solid teams will cause a dip, but I still think Cuse is being underrated this year |
21 |
![]() |
LW: N/A, +5. Early losses to great teams won't hinder the Hawkeyes any more after beating UNC |
22 |
![]() |
LW: N/A, +4. Their only loss is to the solid Gonzaga Bulldogs, and the win over Cuse should jump them into the top 25 |
23 |
![]() |
LW: N/A, +3. It feels weird to move a team up because of a loss, but they played Virginia mildly well, and they were barely UR last week |
24 |
![]() |
LW: 21, -3. Losing to NJIT hurts the fan base's feelings more than the team's rankings in a week where they beat Cuse |
25 |
![]() |
LW: 20, -5. They're lucky to stay ranked after the shellacking by Virginia, but they should bounce back soon |
