8 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State LW: 12
9 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati LW: 13
10 Clemson University Logo Clemson LW: 9
11 University of Arizona Logo Arizona LW: 16. Zona's two best wins (home ASU and neutral A&M) have tanked their value, which makes it hard to tell what this team is capable of
12 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech LW: 20. @Kansas is still one of the best wins of the season. I think I overreacted to their loss to Iowa St; no big XII team is an easy out
13 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma LW: 11
14 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 8. Didn't watch either of their two most recent losses, so don't know what's going on here. This team is clearly in a rut right now
15 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 7. UNC, Florida, and Kentucky are the three teams this year that I just have no idea how good they are. All I know is Luke Maye sucks
16 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky LW: 24. Amazing win @WVU, and I think the clearest sign yet that this team will be a force come March. Or they could flame out quickly, idk
17 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee LW: 18
18 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's LW: 21
19 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State LW: 14. Penn State is an underrated team, so I'm not gonna dock them too much. It does ruin the dream of undefeated Purdue-OSU matchup sadly
20 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga LW: 17
21 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State LW: 15. They've got the talent and experience of a top-10 team, but unless they can beat Cincinnati, they won't have a chance to show it
22 University of Rhode Island Logo URI LW: NR. Love watching this team! Been an EC Matthews fan forever, and the emergence of Terrell has been sweet. Don't sleep on Dowtin either.
23 University of Florida Logo Florida LW: 22
24 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall LW: 19. This is an excellent team, but I can't shake the feeling that they're gonna land a 6 seed and get upset by Middle Tennessee???
25 Creighton University Logo Creighton LW: 23
