Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State | Tier 1- #1 goes tumbling again. I think the buckeyes are the best team this year, and they showed up against kentucky +5 |
2 | Gonzaga | Have a ridiculously easy schedule for all of january. They need to build some momentum to carry them through tough games. = |
3 | Louisville | +2 |
4 | Kansas | Looked a bit uncomposed at the end of the nova game, but a 1 point loss to a top 15 team on the road realaly isn't the end of the world -3 |
5 | Duke | -2 |
6 | San Diego State | Tier 2- looked legit against utah. hopefully this team starts getting the recognition it deserves +5 |
7 | Baylor | +1 |
8 | Auburn | NCST win is their best of the year. tough game @MissSt coming up +2 |
9 | Oregon | Tier 3- really iffy showing against TXSO. 2 losses but quite a few nice wins. |
10 | Memphis | I think Memphis could've been a legit title contender with Wiseman, but even without him, they've proven they can handle themselves. +2 |
11 | Villanova | knocked off number 1 and their two losses came against top 10 teams. this team COULD be a title contender if it clicks. +7 |
12 | Dayton | loss to a top 50 team at the buzzer on a neutral court is hardly a bad loss, but a few teams jump em this week -3 |
13 | Maryland | Maybe seton hall is good? i doubt it. this loss isnt a good look. (edit) yeah seton hall is bad. -9 |
14 | Michigan | Tier 4 |
15 | Butler | I'll probably be low on butler this week, but I really don't think Purdue is all that great of a team. +1 |
16 | West Virginia | Huge two games coming up. Even one win against either OSU or kansas should put this team in the national spotlight. +1 |
17 | Wichita State | +1 |
18 | Penn State | Tier 5 +1 |
19 | Michigan State | Tried to meme the big 10 into home-sanity, but pull off a nice win @minnesota. |
20 | Florida State | I've been yelled at multiple times for not ranking FSU, but they've been very fringe. two wins puts them over the hump +6 |
21 | Indiana | Tier 6- Gritty win against Notre Dame. +7 |
22 | Liberty | Big game against LSU next week. the only mildly difficult game on the schedule remaining. no losses is no losses tho. +8 |
23 | Arkansas | Dodgy game against Valpo. One more OoC prove it game. -2 |
24 | Northern Iowa | one loss to WVU and a road win against colorado. NR |
25 | St. John's | OTIC: kentucky, Arizona, Utah State, Virginia, washington, xavier, Iowa, TTU, Tennessee, Stanford, |
