Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Virginia | |
2 | Kentucky | Two weakish opponents this week isn't enough to change my top 2 from last week. |
3 | Duke | |
4 | Arizona | Excellent win against a strong Utah team. |
5 | Notre Dame | Good win against a soon to be ranked Miami team. |
6 | Maryland | Beat Iowa State earlier in the year, and have kept the pedal down this week. |
7 | Iowa State | One point loss at Baylor kept them from #5 this week. |
8 | Wisconsin | |
9 | Villanova | Weak conference, just like Gonzaga |
10 | Gonzaga | Best win: BYU? SMU? No good wins? Barely beat Pepperdine this week. |
11 | North Carolina | |
12 | Louisville | Lost at home to Duke. Don't lose at home. |
13 | Kansas | Not a bad loss at ISU. |
14 | Utah | Lost badly at AZ. They needed to keep that game close for people to believe in them. |
15 | Texas | Great 25 point victory against a solid West Virginia team. |
16 | Wichita State | Weak schedule. |
17 | VCU | Weak schedule. |
18 | Oklahoma | |
19 | Northern Iowa | |
20 | Dayton | Only losses are against Arkansas and UCONN |
21 | Kansas State | 1st place in the Big 12 |
22 | Indiana | |
23 | Colorado State | |
24 | Iowa | Last two wins AT a good Minnesota team, and home against Ohio State. |
25 | Miami (FL) | It's a shame they weren't able to pull out the win against Notre Dame. Blowout win over Duke AT Duke gets them ranked. |
