RankTeamReason
1 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State top 3 is pretty interchangeable; I'll give OSU the slight edge because I like their guards more than Lville's and wings more than KU's
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas
3 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
4 University of Michigan Logo Michigan ugly loss at Louisville, but I'd still pick them to beat the other teams contending for a top 5 spot
5 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga I think Joel Ayayi is on the verge of taking over as the clear-cut lead guard
6 Duke University Logo Duke impressive wins at Michigan State and at VT, plus Cassius Stanley is healthy again
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia the offense is putrid, but the defense is just too good. Kihei Clark owned Cole Anthony, a sentence I did not expect to type
8 Baylor University Logo Baylor +5 after beating Zona, defense is top 15 on KenPom, Freddie Gillespie is emerging as a steady post presence, transfers have been awesome
9 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland +7, I can no longer deny, this team is good. Manhandled ND and rallied to beat a good Illini team. The guys play so hard.
10 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
11 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky signs of life on offense in their win over Fairleigh Dickinson
12 University of Dayton Logo Dayton +3 after a win over a good Saint Mary's team
13 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee
14 University of Arizona Logo Arizona they stay put after a close road loss to Baylor.
15 Florida State University Logo Florida State -3 after getting blown out against IU. But it was on the road, IU is okay, and everybody else sucks
16 Villanova University Logo Villanova
17 Butler University Logo Butler biggest riser (unranked to 17th). had beat a couple bubble teams (Ole Miss, Stanford, Mizzou? Lol) before destroying Florida
18 Auburn University Logo Auburn tough to know how good this team is because their schedule is so easy.
19 Purdue University Logo Purdue huge win over UVA, the only team to break 60 on them. analytic darlings
20 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU
21 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State this team kind of sucks. makes me feel better about my Heels (see below)
22 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina this team really sucks and I'm sad. If Bacot wasn't healthy, they'd be unranked. 2 losses against the top 2 defenses--better days ahead
23 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall losing Mamukelashvili really hurts this team
24 University of Memphis Logo Memphis FELL OUT: (24) Saint Mary's, (25) Texas Tech
25 University of Washington Logo Washington Next 5: Xavier, San Diego State, LSU, Florida, Texas Tech
