Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Louisville | |
2 | Duke | Win vs Georgia State was closer than it should've been, so no #1 spot |
3 | North Carolina | |
4 | Kansas | |
5 | Michigan State | Loss vs Kentucky now looks worse. Good win vs Seton Hall but only by 3 points |
6 | Gonzaga | Have blown out every opponent, including Texas A&M |
7 | Virginia | Dominant defense, but not tested enough to move higher (yet) |
8 | Maryland | |
9 | Ohio State | Crushed Villanova (#10) |
10 | Kentucky | Bad loss to Evansville leads to plummet in ranking. Can't lose that game and stay near the top. |
11 | Texas Tech | |
12 | Seton Hall | Shouldn't move up due to losing, but very close game with #3 MSU. Proved ranking was deserved. |
13 | Oregon | Win vs #13 Memphis |
14 | Utah State | |
15 | Arizona | Each game a blow-out win |
16 | Memphis | Double-digit loss to #14 Oregon |
17 | Villanova | Blown out by #16 Ohio State |
18 | Evansville | Undefeated and beat #1 team in the country. Have to be ranked and deserve more than #25. Will fall fast with any loss, though. |
19 | Florida | Loss to un-ranked UCONN after 6 point win over Towson |
20 | Tennessee | Double-digit win over #20 Washington |
21 | Florida State | |
22 | Washington | Double-digit loss to Tennessee |
23 | VCU | Beat LSU |
24 | Texas | |
25 | LSU | Close loss to VCU |
