Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Louisville | Tier 1- We've got some teams up top at the moment that I think will stay up top for most of the season. +1 |
2 | Ohio State | Basically 1b, blowing out UNC on the road is impressive. +2 |
3 | Maryland | Tough call as to whether the the Illinois shows grit in coming back, or that they're susceptible to losing soon. anyway, they stay high. -1 |
4 | Kansas | move up to tier 1 with an impressive win against colorado +2 |
5 | Michigan | rough loss but it's at the number 1 team in the country. game against oregon next week will be a good indicator of their skill -4 |
6 | Gonzaga | Tier 2- Huge gap between 5 and 6, but a road win @washington makes it a bit smaller +3 |
7 | Duke | it was hard to keep duke out of the top 10 for long, as they come back with 2 good wins this week +6 |
8 | Oregon | +3 |
9 | Butler | big week for butler as 2 solid wins and a big fat 0 in the loss column catapults them to the top 10. plus everyone else sucks. +19 |
10 | Dayton | good win vs SMU and a close loss to Kansas and we've got ourselves a top 10 team. +5 |
11 | Auburn | Tier 3- This team is probably way overrated but at the moment this is where they fit in the rankings. = |
12 | San Diego State | ugly win against a horrid San jose state team, but im still a believer in this team. Plus, they stil haven't lost -4 |
13 | Virginia | I honestly think this team has the potential to be unranked by next week. but for now, a win against UNC keeps them afloat -8 |
14 | Baylor | big win against arizona +4 |
15 | Memphis | if this team can get to wiseman's return with 2 total losses, i think it'll be a success. |
16 | Kentucky | Tier 4- a blowout win against FDU might help them get their mojo back, but it's been rough for them +3 |
17 | Arizona | i think arizona was probably overrated last week, but at the moment i think 18 is a good spot for them. |
18 | Tennessee | i guess they move up to here since everyone else lost? way to go everybody +7 |
19 | Xavier | a crosstown shootout win is always big. +12 |
20 | Villanova | 19-25 are all not great +13 |
21 | Wichita State | win @oklahoma state? sure, thats good enough to get ranked. NR |
22 | Utah State | looked bad against fresno state +6 |
23 | Michigan State | only stays ranked because everyone else lost. have NOT been impressed. -12 |
24 | West Virginia | Loss on the road against St Johns isn't the end of the world, but you certainly expect to see better from this team. -3 |
25 | Liberty | dont even feel like doing a next 10 this week. theres just so many teams. ark, okst, s. hall, colorado, fsu, dep, IU, UNC, texas in no order |
