Submitted on Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 7:49PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Tennessee
|
(+0) Probably should have lost to Vandy but took care of business |
| 2 |
Duke
|
(+0) Now that they have Tre Jones back, Duke is going to be really scary |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
(+0) Picked up a couple more large wins this week |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
(+0) Gonzaga doesn't really belong in their conference, winning by 59 must be so boring |
| 5 |
Michigan
|
(+1) Close game against Minnesota but a really solid win at Indiana |
| 6 |
Kentucky
|
(+2) One of the hottest teams right now, UK has won three ranked matchups in a row |
| 7 |
Nevada
|
(+0) Nevada might not lose for the rest of the season but they still have to be careful |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
(-3) Purdue is a good team and MSU had a very packed schedule against 3 ranked opponents this week, can't punish them that much |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
(+3) Big win against a solid Virginia Tech team, but this team is pretty inconsistent |
| 10 |
Marquette
|
(+4) In my opinion the favorite to win the conference, but the race with Villanova will be interesting |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
(+5) They've recovered well from a slow start and are on a roll right now |
| 12 |
Louisville
|
(+3) As much as I hate to see it, the Cards are putting together a nice run |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
(-2) Good win against Iowa St, and they played Kentucky pretty close in Lexington. This team needs to find an identity |
| 14 |
Houston
|
(+3) A 40-point win is impressive against anyone, Houston is really showing people they mean business |
| 15 |
Buffalo
|
(-5) I think Buffalo needed this loss since they were getting ranked so highly, to help bring them back down to earth |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
(+7) Their best player had an okay game and they kinda manhandled the hottest team in the country, that game was never in question |
| 17 |
Virginia Tech
|
(-4) Against top tier teams Tech looks sloppy but they continue to perform well against lesser opponents |
| 18 |
LSU
|
(+6) Won some close SEC games in a week where a lot of mid tier teams around them lost |
| 19 |
Maryland
|
(-10) Not a great week, and losing to Illinois is kinda humiliating, but hopefully the Terps can recover |
| 20 |
Wisconsin
|
(NR) Followed up their victory over UM with a couple double digit BIG wins, this team is solid |
| 21 |
Oklahoma
|
(NR) Absolutely whalloped Vandy, I think Oklahoma belongs somewhere in this mid tier. |
| 22 |
Iowa State
|
(-2) Only barely lost to Kansas, and took care of a good Ole Miss team |
| 23 |
Texas Tech
|
(-4) Not a good stretch leading up to the Kansas State loss, and Arkansas isn't good, but maybe they can turn it around |
| 24 |
TCU
|
(NR) Good win against a team the statisticians love in Florida, though not sure if TCU deserved to quite be ranked or not |
| 25 |
Cincinnati
|
(NR) Next Five: Wofford, NC State, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Washington |
