1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Welp with Kansas, Kentucky, and Villanova all losing I gotta put The Zags on top
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor I don't like putting Baylor here, but they do deserve it with only 1 loss and a ton of wins

4 Villanova University Logo Villanova Huge win for Nova to keep them in a 1 seed position
5 University of Arizona Logo Arizona All of a Sudden Arizona is in a position for a 1 seed
6 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA I really can't believe I'm doing this after they lost to a terrible USC team, while they have a shitty SOS they beat Kentucky. close call
7 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Tennessee loss is dragging them behind UCLA. Did not play well iin the second half vs Kansas
