RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (+2) Kansas has the better resume, but at this point there isn't a team I would take on a neutral over GU. Even without Tillie.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (+1) Picked up another top 10 win after beating my (5) Tennessee in OT. The ultimate 1B to Gonzaga's 1A.
3 Duke University Logo Duke (-2) Gonzaga made them look human for the first 30 minutes of that game, they are still easily a top 3 team for me though.
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (-) Won another November tournament... shocker
5 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee (-) Losing to Kansas in OT showed me this team is legit and right where I thought they were. Not dropping them for that.
6 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada (+1)
7 University of Michigan Logo Michigan (+1)
8 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (+2) Big wins over UCLA and a tough Texas team
9 Auburn University Logo Auburn (-2) Didn't play as well against Xavier as I thought they would but gave Duke a great game. Jared Harper is the truth.
10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina (-3) Avoided the 0-2 in Vegas by beating UCLA. Need to figure out how to stop the ball ASAP or its going to be a long season defensively.
11 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech (+1) Won the Charleston Classic like I thought they would. Have a real chance to go undefeated in OOC play.
12 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (-1) VT has shown me more than UK so they get jumped for now
13 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State (+1)
14 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin (+6) Feels weird to move a team up like this but I was impressed by what they showed this week
15 Purdue University Logo Purdue (+7) Same thing as above ^, played VT a bit tougher than I thought they would
16 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State (+2) Less about what OSU did and more about what the teams behind them showed me (Wiscy and Purdue). All 3 of them are very close for me.
17 Florida State University Logo Florida State (-4) Who knows what happens in that LSU game without that lucky bounce... LSU is hurting them as well by apparently being terrible
18 University of Iowa Logo Iowa (+2)
19 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas (NR) Big win over UNC, couldn't hold on against MSU. Kerwin Roach is a savage
20 Villanova University Logo Villanova (NR) Were just outside my 25 last week and now they're back
21 University of Oregon Logo Oregon (+4)
22 Clemson University Logo Clemson (-6)
23 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech (NR)
24 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana (-)
25 Mississippi State University Logo Mississippi State (-10) Lipscomb isn't a bad team by any means, but that is a game you should win.
