Tier 1C Big oof loss vs Indiana. Hit your god damn free throws. Indiana tried to hand that game back to you |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
Stay behind UM/MSU.They're behind both most metrics (WAB, SOR, Kpom, torvik) and actually looking game by game doesn't make it look better |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
Nice win @ Louisville |
| 9 |
Houston
|
Tier 2a Probably another week of Nevada getting ranked way above Houston for some reason, what else is new? |
| 10 |
Marquette
|
Got their best road win so far. Solid test next weekend, but I'm really eying that 2/27 game |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
Their SOS is ridiculous, but they can't keep regularly dropping games like @texas |
| 12 |
Virginia Tech
|
That NC state game was umm... basketball. Have to respect the win, but NC st is looking more and more like they hid behind weak schedule |
| 13 |
Villanova
|
No notable wins on the week, but they continue to take care of business |
| 14 |
Purdue
|
Tier 2b QuALiTy lOSses+ Nevada tier. Toss up between them and wisco |
| 15 |
Wisconsin
|
Very similar resume to Purdue |
| 16 |
Nevada
|
Everyone in the teens sucked the week they took that horrific loss, so they didn't drop much. Now teams are shaping up and I'm jumping them |
| 17 |
Iowa State
|
Took care of business, but two home wins against meh teams. Hence wisco jumping them |
| 18 |
Louisville
|
UNC giveth and UNC taketh away |
| 19 |
Iowa
|
If they could win anything of note on the road or at least a better neutral win then I would have them higher |
| 20 |
Mississippi State
|
Tier 3: the big dropoff. Won at Ole Miss, who looks worse every day, but is still good enough to jump kstate |
| 21 |
Kansas State
|
5 losses, 3 of which are kinda rough, but better wins by far than those below |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
took care of business vs smu meh |
| 23 |
Texas Tech
|
@ Me all you want but they have 5 losses, and their "good" wins look worse every day. How many tourny quality wins do they have? One? |
| 24 |
Buffalo
|
Their last 2 losses are bad, but teams at this far down either have losses just as bad, have beaten nobody, or have like 8 losses |
| 25 |
LSU
|
Losing at home to Arkansas is around as bad as UB's loss on the road to BGSU. Dropped accordingly. 26: Washington 27: FSU 28: Wofford |
