Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan | +19 Best resume in the country. Brooks and Livers have become great complements to Simpson and Teske. |
2 | Kansas | +3 On paper the team I like most to win the title. Starting to play like it |
3 | Maryland | +3 Held Markus Howard to 6 pts on 1-12 after he scored 51 and 40. |
4 | Louisville | -1 |
5 | Ohio State | +5 Six straight victories by 19 or more points |
6 | Virginia | +1 |
7 | Dayton | NR This isn’t a one man team. Dayton can compete with anyone. |
8 | North Carolina | -4 Their 3 pt shooting is incredibly shaky. Need to get that together if they want to go deep in March. |
9 | Gonzaga | -1 |
10 | Oregon | -1 |
11 | Duke | -9 Lost to SFA and struggled with Winthrop for most of the game. Hopefully for them Stanley is back sometime soon. |
12 | Kentucky | = How do play #1 on a neutral and have a strength of schedule #320? Ask Kentucky. |
13 | Michigan State | -12 Huge drop for a 5 point loss and 2-1 week record seems harsh... But the same VT team lost to Dayton and BYU by a billion. |
14 | Seton Hall | -3 |
15 | Arizona | = Huge couple Saturdays coming up @Baylor and vs The Zags |
16 | Auburn | = |
17 | Colorado | -3 Having a really tough time scoring in the first half. Love that they are finding a way to win but a bit worried overall. |
18 | Utah State | -4 No shame in losing at Moraga without your 2nd best player and only getting 3 points from your third best player. USU will be fine. |
19 | San Diego State | NR Win a good tournament impressively and you’re in the top 25. |
20 | Florida State | NR Ditto SDSU |
21 | Tennessee | -4 |
22 | Temple | NR Stack up Temple and Memphis' resumes. Temple SOS 75, Memphis 253. Temple 4 wins away from home, Memphis 1. |
23 | Memphis | -2 Both 6-1, Memphis 8 point loss to #10, Temple 7 point loss to #3. Memphis 0 double digit wins vs good teams, Temple 2. |
24 | Baylor | -2 (Dropped out: Texas Tech, VCU, LSU, Florida, Arkansas) |
25 | Butler | NR Next 10: Oklahoma State, Arkansas, WVU, DePaul, Xavier, VCU, Villanova, Florida, Texas Tech, St. Marys) |
