Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Louisville | they're really good, Nwora looks like a potential POY |
2 | Ohio State | THE second best team in the country |
3 | Maryland | mostly poll inertia but Cowan is having a great season and Smith is great up front |
4 | Michigan | tough loss to the best team in the country but bounced back with a win over Iowa and I'm not ready to drop them yet |
5 | Virginia | lost to Purdue but won against UNC, honestly idk who else to put this high |
6 | Auburn | they've impressed me despite a close win or two |
7 | Kansas | they're pretty good, if they can |
8 | Baylor | get on this train while you can, they've knocked off Villanova and Arizona |
9 | Arizona | lost to Baylor, but still very good |
10 | Gonzaga | followed up a loss to Michigan with a win over Washington. they're chillin |

12 | Duke | beat MSU which is a reason for rise, even though MSU is suspet |
13 | Kentucky | idk man poll inertia and stuff |
14 | Villanova | has looked kinda suspect in some rivalry games but managed to win all by double digits, if the defense cleans itself up they'll be golden |

16 | Seton Hall | loss to ISU hurts but they have still bee good enough |
17 | Butler | undefeated, I'm not sure if I've totally bought into them yet but I like what I see |

22 | San Diego State | no losses and good metrics |
23 | Memphis | |
