Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | [1] There is no reason Kentucky should not be #1. |
2 | Gonzaga | [2] There are plenty of reasons Gonzaga should not be #2, but undefeated minus an overtime loss @Arizona is a defensible resume |
3 | Wisconsin | [3] Now we get to the real issues with the structure of my poll |
4 | Duke | [4] Basically, I realized a few weeks ago my system has a recency bias |
5 | Virginia | [5] And also that I panic when the tops of conferences get ambiguous, as you see here |
6 | Villanova | [7] UVA is probably still the #2 team after this week, but also I'm not really conditioned to worry over two or three misused points |
7 | Louisville | [6] Louisville/Villanova is also, to me, a very tough call |
8 | North Carolina | [11] ...and now this gets impossible |
9 | Arizona | [8] Basically this whole cluster of teams (8 - 13) is a bunch of paradoxes and logic loops I'm gonna screw up a bit |
10 | Kansas | [9] Like Kansas needs to stay above Iowa State but has to get dinged for the OK State loss |
11 | Utah | [14] Didn't do anything special but didn't lose |
12 | Iowa State | [10] |
13 | Notre Dame | [12] Losing to Duke at Duke, so be it. Losing to Duke at Duke by thirty... I don't know what to make of that. |
14 | Northern Iowa | [15] Pretty good |
15 | Ohio State | [16] Each spot, I ask myself: "How far do I want to drop WVU?" Very far. I am a small, petty person. |
16 | Baylor | [19] |
17 | Wichita State | [20] |
18 | Oklahoma | [24] |
19 | West Virginia | [13] I guess that'll do |
20 | Maryland | [17] |
21 | SMU | [18] Finally got Tulsa out of my poll, sorry everyone |
22 | Butler | [N5] |
23 | Oklahoma State | [New] 60% of the Big XII is ranked, to put it another way |
24 | Ole Miss | [New] I'm compelled to always have two SEC teams ranked because I am dumb and do dumb stuff |
25 | URI | [New] ayy lmao (Next Five: VCU, Cincinnati, Iowa, Arkansas, Steven F. Austin) |
