Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
2 | Gonzaga | LW: 2 |
3 | Duke | LW: 3 |
4 | Virginia | LW: 4 |
5 | Wisconsin | LW: 5 |
6 | Villanova | LW: 6 |
7 | Arizona | LW: 10, +3. Last week, I was a bit too hard on Zona and Kansas for their losses, so I corrected it this week |
8 | Kansas | LW: 13, +5 |
9 | Utah | LW: 7, -2. |
10 | Northern Iowa | LW: 8, -2. |
11 | Louisville | LW: 11 |
12 | Notre Dame | LW: 12 |
13 | Wichita State | LW: 9, -4. Had them way too high last week |
14 | Oklahoma | LW: 15, +1. The loss to K-State on the road is balanced out by the Iowa St win, plus people below looked bad |
15 | Michigan State | LW: N/A, +11. Maybe I'm being reactionary, but they've been borderline ranked for a while, and I think they're coming into form |
16 | Iowa State | LW: 14, -2. Loss to Oklahoma swaps their positions |
17 | Butler | LW: 18, +1. They barely lost to the number six team, that deserves a boost in my book |
18 | Illinois | LW: 24, +6. Illinois has been very strong recently, and they played the best for a half against Wisconsin as any B1G team so far |
19 | West Virginia | LW: 19. They got clobbered by Iowa State, but with the way the Big 12 is, that's not too bad |
20 | North Carolina | LW: 17, -3. Getting clocked by a down Pitt is never a good thing |
21 | Baylor | LW: 16, -5. Yes, the Big 12 is tough, but losing two in a row with one at home is rough |
22 | Oklahoma State | LW: 20, -2. Beating Baylor at home? Good. Losing to TCU? Bad. |
23 | Maryland | LW: 25, +2. They may have lost quite a bit recently, but they do still only have 5 losses. |
24 | VCU | LW: 22, -2. The fact they lost to LaSalle is slightly lessened by the fact it went to OT |
25 | Ohio State | LW: 21, -4. Losing to Michigan State hurts, because the win could've vaulted them up a lot |
