Submitted on Sunday, January 6, 2019 at 8:48PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
Solid opener in the ACC taking down the Noles in decisive fashion. |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
Good stuff coming out of Ann Arbor this year. This is a great team that I can easily see making another run into the championship game. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
I always think Duke teams are going for the chip but then they choke in the tourney so who knows, maybe I jinxed em again. |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
You're the only top Ten I See in the SEC. Ok let's move along. |
| 5 |
Texas Tech
|
Keep getting those conference road wins! This team is looking pretty darn good even if their wins aren't super pretty. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
A solid win over a good Ohio State team on the road. Definitely one of the best teams in the nation right now. |
| 7 |
NC State
|
Road win from behind always makes the sun shine. Good win at Miami, now do it. Defeat your one true enemy. I believe. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
Well I thought Pitt was looking a lot better this year (they still do) but UNC clearly showed that they need a few more years to rebuild. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
Well the hard part is over and you can feast on the cupcakes in your conference to make your way into the tourney. You did well kid. |
| 10 |
Virginia Tech
|
BC played you closer than I thought they would for most of the game. Good job holding out and fighting for the W. |
| 11 |
Houston
|
YA WOO COUGAR BASKETBALL!!!!! |
| 12 |
Auburn
|
A bit underwhelming to head into conference play without a top 25 win, but this team is good and I bet you'll get some over Tenn or Kentucky |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
Living in Kansas you would think they'd know the power of wind-based storms. |
| 14 |
Iowa State
|
Cyclones could not be a more perfect name for Iowa State athletic teams, pure chaos and destruction embodied. |
| 15 |
Indiana
|
"Purdue" more like "Purdont," Ha. (I hope you can appreciate that I am trying to speak in your native tongue: corny jokes :) ) |
| 16 |
Marquette
|
Marquette still looks pretty good even after the loss. Hoping they rebound well and get some revenge later on. |
| 17 |
Florida State
|
Losing to the number one team on the road can't be called a bad loss. This team will look to rebound into the top 15 with a few ACC wins. |
| 18 |
St. John's
|
A much better team than I thought at first. The Seton Hall loss stings, but downing Marquette definitely rectified it. |
| 19 |
Buffalo
|
Since getting raced by Marquette, this team has been recovering well and still looks like a solid team. |
| 20 |
Nevada
|
Wow, okay that loss was BAD. Like a 16 seed beating a 1 seed in the tourney bad. But don't worry, yall can come back from this I believe. |
| 21 |
Ohio State
|
Losing to sparty at home stinks, but you gave a top 10 team a gosh darned fight and you should be proud. |
| 22 |
Kentucky
|
Was it worth it for a year of good football to sell your basketball dominance? Did you sell it to Tenn? Because they're where you should be. |
| 23 |
Mississippi State
|
Ok fine, I'll rank you. It feels like everyone forgot the ASU loss happened but you've recovered well and look pretty good. |
| 24 |
Iowa
|
This team dropped a bit from the Purdue loss, but remains in the top 25 because of the Nebraska win. Still looks like a good team to me. |
| 25 |
Oklahoma
|
Can't drop this team yet, their losses aren't bad and their record for their SOS is good. We'll see in a week or so if they deserve it. |
