|
|
| 11 |
Nevada
|
Tier 2b I would have had them much lower last week after that ugly loss, but most teens ranked teams sucked and nevada won @fresno |
| 12 |
Buffalo
|
I really don't want to rank UB this high, but with all the losses this week it is hard not to |
| 13 |
Oklahoma
|
No signature wins, only one good road win, but a ton of very solid wins. 3 losses, but two are as high quality as you can get. |
| 14 |
Marquette
|
Tier 2c Finally got a good road win this week. 4 good wins. Losses aren't too bad. Still don't look nearly the same out of Fiserve though |
| 15 |
Florida State
|
Loss to Duke at home isn't bad, but top 15 teams should win that at home. Ugly shooting at the end. 3 losses and no top wins. No road wins. |
| 16 |
Maryland
|
Wins around the same quality as FSU, but their losses are a bit worse. They do have a good true road win unlike FSU though |
| 17 |
Iowa
|
Very similar to above |
| 18 |
Kentucky
|
Tier 3. Two very good wins. 1 somewhat notable win. Then a slew of meh and garbage tier home wins. 3 losses none of which are too bad |
| 19 |
Ole Miss
|
Only two losses. Losses are ok but not top qUaliTy lOSseS. Has the Auburn home win like NC st and true road wins at vandy and miss st. |
| 20 |
North Carolina
|
Better quality wins than anyone else in tier 2, but 4 losses is a lot to stomach especially the home blowout to louisville |
| 21 |
NC State
|
Only two losses and neither are too bad, but their SOS is laughable and their signature win against Auburn is looking worse these days |
| 22 |
Indiana
|
UNC with more excusable losses, but lesser quality wins |
| 23 |
Villanova
|
Tier 4. Four losses two of which are QuALitY, two of which are pretty bad. 3 very good wins 4 decent wins |
| 24 |
Temple
|
3 losses, VCU neutral court being the worst. 1 very good win, several solid wins. |
| 25 |
Auburn
|
Tier 5. Three losses, none too bad. No Q1 wins. No road wins. I understand ranking Lville, Nebraska, UCF, St Johns, Miss st instead |
