Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | |
2 | Virginia | |
3 | North Carolina | |
4 | Duke | I have a hard time dropping them with Zion coming back, but now Bolden being out hurts. |
5 | Texas Tech | Haven't lost in over a month. D is great, played very well against an ISU that looked a bit more like themselves this weekend. |
6 | Tennessee | Tough loss @ an inspired Auburn team. No losses outside Q1. |
7 | Kentucky | Had trouble deciding who to put on top between Tennessee and Kentucky. Fairly similar resumes right now, gave nod to more recent h2h |
8 | Michigan State | good win over Michigan |
9 | LSU | Will be interesting to see how they do without Wade.. |
10 | Michigan | Have experienced cold stretches in big games- not great for the tournament. We'll see if they have more postseason magic in them |
11 | Houston | BIG win @cinci. |
12 | Florida State | |
13 | Purdue | |
14 | Virginia Tech | |
15 | Nevada | |

18 | Buffalo | |
19 | Wofford | lowkey kinda wouldn't mind them losing socon tourney in order for conference to get 2 bids |
20 | Wisconsin | |
21 | Auburn | This team could be a dangerous one this March (some real hard hitting a n a l y s i s on this). |
22 | Villanova | |
23 | Cincinnati | |
24 | Maryland | |
