| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
(+1) oh no, they're baaaack |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
(+1) sshhhhh, be veeeewy qwiet, I'm sneaking up this hewe powl |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(-2) watching this team play from a defecit is like watching a monster truck rally, but can they still play angry without Zion? |
| 4 |
Kentucky
|
(--) might get first-place votes this week (predicting 2), but they don't budge for me |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
(+3) why do all the blue-bloods have blue logos |
| 6 |
Houston
|
(+1) it's not every week you get passed in the top 10, but it's also not every week that team clowns on Duke |
| 7 |
Marquette
|
(+2) I can already see these guys being the team everyone has going deep, but they get upset by a 14 seed in round one |
| 8 |
Tennessee
|
(-3) losing is typically not a good follow-up strategy to losing |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
(+2) central michigan best michigan |
| 10 |
LSU
|
(+2) someone has to go here, so I'm choosing the most confusing results of the week |
| 11 |
Michigan
|
(-1) fun fact: despite MSU being in "east" lansing, ann arbor is geographically more east, making this michigan the real east michigan |
| 12 |
Purdue
|
(+2) they're just not the second-best team in the conference, so they're stuck here for now |
| 13 |
Nevada
|
(-7) top 10 teams don't drop like a sack of potatoes on the road against sub-100 kenpom teams |
| 14 |
Virginia Tech
|
(+1) they kinda held their own against Virginia? |
| 15 |
Kansas State
|
(+4) the big 12 is looking more like the mediocre 12 by the week |
| 16 |
Florida State
|
(-3) they really didn't hold their own against UNC |
| 17 |
Texas Tech
|
(+6) Kansas wanted another title, but Texas Tech refused to change... |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
(-2) bit of a shaky week for B1G corn bros |
| 19 |
Washington
|
(+3) at this point the only question is if they can win their tournament and make the Pac-12 a one-bid league |
| 20 |
Buffalo
|
(+4) playing @Buffalo statistically turns your squad into a rec-league pickup group |
| 21 |
Wofford
|
(+4) anyone who thinks they shouldn't be an at-large now is sadly misinformed |
| 22 |
Maryland
|
(NR) B1G boys have been swirling in the 26-35 range for too long |
| 23 |
Cincinnati
|
(NR) what even is a bearcat? |
| 24 |
Kansas
|
(-4) I'm actually curious how much this team specifically would lose by if they played @Buffalo |
| 25 |
VCU
|
(NR) very underrated team right now -- DROPPED: Villanova 17, Iowa St. 18, Louisville 21 |
