Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | The Florida faithful are still shell-shocked from WCS. |
2 | Duke | With the way they completely demolished Notre Dame at home, I think it's about time Duke came back up to #2. |
3 | Virginia | Hard to argue with two Top-10 wins this week. |
4 | Villanova | Hard to drop the 'Cats, but I still see 'Nova as a top-tier team. |
5 | Gonzaga | I'm sure I'll get flak for this, but I dropped Gonzaga from their #2 spot. Duke, Virginia, and 'Nova have had the better wins. |
6 | Wisconsin | Wisconsin continues to make its way back up my rankings. The Badgers look like a clear favorite in the B1G. |
7 | Louisville | Lost a tight one at Virginia. As tough as the ACC is, Louisville is gonna start dropping if they don't get a few big wins down the stretch. |
8 | Utah | Only had the 28-point win at Colorado this week. May be high for Utah at this point, but I'm thinking they'll be Top-10 before long. |
9 | Arizona | Losing a tight game at a rival like ASU isn't that big of a deal, but the 'Cats still drop. |
10 | Notre Dame | It's hard for Notre Dame NOT to drop after being embarrassed 30 points, but I still think they're a Top-10 team. |
11 | North Carolina | Tar Heels broke their 2-game slide with a win at Boston College. They have a couple tough road games coming up at Pitt and Duke. |
12 | Kansas | KU got their big win at home against Iowa State, but fell on the road at Okie State. |
13 | Northern Iowa | UNI notched two more MVC wins against Indiana State and Drake. |
14 | Baylor | Bears are big movers this week for me. Had two wins, including at West Virginia this weekend. |
15 | Wichita State | Wasn't sure what to of WSU after narrowly escaping Bradley, but they put doubts to rest with a clinical win over Missouri State this weekend |
16 | Iowa State | The Cyclones could not get a road win at Lawrence, but didn't slip up to Texas Tech on Saturday. |
17 | Ohio State | Lost a tight one to an improved Purdue squad, but rebounded with a road win at Rutgers. |
18 | Oklahoma | 2-0 this week, including a convincing win over West Virginia on Tuesday night. |
19 | Oklahoma State | The 'Pokes fly back into the rankings, thanks to a good road win at Texas then beating a ranked KU team. |
20 | Butler | Handled two good opponents in St. John's and DePaul. |
21 | Pitt | Pitt's back in my rankings, thanks to that win over Syracuse. Beating Bryant helped too, I guess. |
22 | Iowa | Iowa looked good this week. Winning at Michigan ain't easy, then they took down Maryland on Sunday. |
23 | West Virginia | I need that face Cersei Lannister has, where she's basically saying "I'm getting real tired of your shit, Joffery." It'd apply well for WVU. |
24 | Murray State | Murray's movin' on up, thanks to a couple 10-point wins. |
25 | VCU | The St. Bonaventure loss almost knocked VCU out of it for me, but I'm willing to give the Rams another shot. |
