(Last Week: 1) |
| 2 |
Duke

(4) We're going to have to see the /r/collegebasketball banner in Blue Devils colors for another couple months. Great. |

(8) |

Kentucky

(2) ...How do you lose by this much on so big a stage? I'll put it up to Duke being good rather than UK being bad and/or jitters, but still. |
| 12 |
Syracuse
|
(13) |
| 13 |
Florida State
|
(16) |
| 14 |
Nebraska
|
(17) The only problem with blowing out terrible teams is when you're expected to do so. |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
(15) |
| 16 |
Kansas State
|
(10) Down six spots despite not losing. That's how you can tell it's week 2. |
| 17 |
Oregon
|
(25) Okay, I admit it. I had Washington too high and these guys a bit too low. |
| 18 |
Indiana
|
(18) You know what would be great? Teams scheduling actual opponents the first couple weeks. |
| 19 |
Mississippi State
|
(21) Not to be confused with Mississippi Valley State. Not like I would ever drunkenly choose the wrong team by mistake, of course. |
| 20 |
Virginia Tech
|
(NR) "VT" is a much easier abbreviation to remember than "VPI." Just hope that no one from Vermont complains. |
| 21 |
West Virginia
|
(14) I applaud your taste in music. It's almost as annoying as what we have up here in Amherst. (By the way, Fallout 76 is crap.) |
| 22 |
UCLA
|
(20) |
| 23 |
Marquette
|
(NR) Computer models are really really dumb early on the year, so I'm relying on Kenpom a bit more than usual. |
| 24 |
Clemson
|
(22) Shoutouts to UTSA, Quinnipiac, Jacksonville, and Delaware State, who managed to rank worse than "generic D2 team I know nothing about." |
| 25 |
LSU
|
(NR) Also to Niagara, who starts their season today, and Canisius and Colorado, who open their schedules tomorrow. |
