Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | (+2) they're not winning the title this year because Duke, but they're a fun bunch to watch |
2 | Tennessee | (--) if they can win @Kentucky on Saturday, they get my vote |
3 | Virginia | (-2) should've gameplanned for a deluge of 3s |
4 | Kentucky | (--) I have two midterms this week, wish me luck |
5 | Gonzaga | (--) these scores remind me of getting big in agar.io and eating everyone spawning in |
6 | Michigan | (+1) 22-2: 2+2+2=6 |
7 | North Carolina | (-1) taking Miami to overtime is like taking your sister to prom, except it's just a basketball with a face drawn on it |
8 | Nevada | (--) technically, they beat New Mexico on aggregate, 149-147 |
9 | Houston | (+3) they still only have one loss this year, which is crazy at this point in the season |
10 | Purdue | (+4) don't kow who else to put here, so I'll just slot in the hot team that can feasibly win out |
11 | Marquette | (--) proved their worth against Nova, right after spilling some serious spaghetti against St. John's |
12 | Florida State | (+3) if not for a 2-game hiccup, these guys would be pretty highly regarded |
13 | Kansas State | (+8) finally, a Big 12 team to put above the masses |
14 | Villanova | (-1) I have to respect a 1-point loss on the road in their biggest game in a while |
15 | Michigan State | (-6) no Langford, lots of problems; this team doesn't look or feel the same and losing @Illinois is a humongous oof |
16 | Iowa | (+4) these rankings are late in part because I threw at least one chair and took a long walk, but I'm not salty, no sir |
17 | Louisville | (-1) so close to being ROAD WARRIORS OF THE WEEK |
18 | Virginia Tech | (-8) I'm just getting them away from #10 so I don't put them there again |
19 | LSU | (+4) SEC seems a bit top-heavy, maybe it's just me |
20 | Kansas | (-2) they're just falling slower than they should be in polls, even if they're inevitably coming back and winning the Big 12 again anyway |
21 | Washington | (-4) Arizona St. just ruins everyone's fun, don't they? |
22 | Iowa State | (-3) at this point they just have to distract Kansas long enough for K-State to run with the title |
23 | Buffalo | (NR) back by popular demand |
24 | Wofford | (+1) doesn't matter how high I put them: they're here until they lose, because that's how the SoCon do |
25 | Texas Tech | (NR) don't disappoint me again -- DROPPED: Wisconsin 22, Cincinnati 24 |
