RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke Tier 1A That Lville game made me think less of duke, but not enough to drop them.
2 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Great road win @ UNC, could stand to bury ND a bit more at home
3 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
4 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee tier 1b Loss @ Rupp is one thing, but that was a murder. 1 loss was basically the only thing keeping them above zaga or UVA
5 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Loss vs LSU and clapping Tenn at home is mostly a wash on the week, but Michigan did worse so they move up.
6 University of Michigan Logo Michigan
7 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State
8 University of Houston Logo Houston Tier 2 Win vs Lsu continues to age well, picked up a nice win vs Uconn
9 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Now 5-5 in Q1 with the Lville split and VT win looking worse
10 Louisiana State University Logo LSU Big win @ Rupp, but need to show more consistency. That Arkansas home loss is rough as is that close call with Georgia
11 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada
12 Marquette University Logo Marquette Should have had them above nova last week. Nice win @depaul
13 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Tier 3 The big 12 never changes
14 Purdue University Logo Purdue that maryland loss, while expected, was uglier than it should have been
15 Florida State University Logo Florida State Taking care of business while others lose. No big wins so no huge jump, but they showed consistency
16 Villanova University Logo Villanova
17 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin I probably had them 2 spots too high last week and a loss vs MSU, while not too bad, still hurts
18 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State
19 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Efficiency metrics are cool and all but you've still got a losing Q1 record and do pretty poorly on the road
20 University of Iowa Logo Iowa still shaky on the road
21 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State
22 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Very solid win against purdue, still bad away from home
23 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech Tier 4
24 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo Toledo game was pretty ugly, but 2 very solid wins this week. Harris needs to wake up and they need to start out stronger
25 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Ceiling is ~#5 . Your floor is playing like a 15 seed losing their lead on a 2... but actually worse. Worst choke I've ever seen.
