Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | PR 3 - Still the best team on paper, but they'll get their chance to how in next week @Nova. We saw what OSU did to Nova. |
2 | Gonzaga | PR 7 - 9-straight vs PAC12 schools (vs UA UW and Oregon). Just imagine what that streak would be if they also played the 8-9 bad P12 teams |
3 | Dayton | PR 4 - BEST TEAM IN OHIO. Ohio State lost to 4-5 Minnesota, Xavier lost to Wake FREAKING Forest and Cincy lost at home to Colgate?????? |
4 | Ohio State | PR 1 |
5 | Oregon | PR 12 - Can anyone stop Payton Pritchard? Zavier Simpson certainly can't. Only team in America to not play a single bottom 180 team. |
6 | Baylor | PR 14 - A gritty 2-0 stretch vs Zona and Butler that was a couple possessions away from going 0-2. |
7 | Duke | PR 8 - No teams from North Carolina, Virginia, or Kentucky in the top 5 for the first time since Week 18 of 2016-17 sesaon. Weird season. |
8 | Butler | PR 9 |
9 | Auburn | PR 13 |
10 | Maryland | PR 5 - Lost to a team that lost by 35 the game before and then only beat Bama by 2 the game after. Ooooooof. |
11 | Louisville | PR 2 |
12 | Virginia | PR 10 |
13 | Kentucky | PR 11 |
14 | San Diego State | PR 16 |
15 | Arizona | PR 15 |
16 | Michigan | PR 6 - They have basically 3 free weeks until they play @MSU. That is a huge game for both schools. |
17 | Memphis | PR 20 - 2 of their top 4 players out and still picked up a nice road win. This team is deeper than I thought |
18 | West Virginia | NR - Their wins over Northern Iowa and Wichita State look a lot lot lot better than they did 4 weeks ago. |
19 | Northern Iowa | NR - Won every game impressively since that WVU loss |
20 | Wichita State | NR - Won every game impressively since that WVU loss |
21 | Florida State | PR 23 |
22 | BYU | NR - Four losses, but a top 20 SOS and STACKING up impressive wins: Houston, Utah St, and demolishing UCLA, VTech, UNLV, Nevada |
