Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Ohio State | should've never dropped them last week. Washington healthy. They're the best team. Ball movement is exquisite |
2 | Gonzaga | |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | Duke | i'll move em up 1 for beating Wofford by 30 without Tre Jones |
5 | Louisville | |
6 | Baylor | |
7 | Oregon | |
8 | Butler | Biggest riser (+6) after beating Purdue. top 50 3pt%, opp 2p% and 3p% both top 30 as well |
9 | Dayton | not gonna knock them for a 1 pt loss to a good Colorado team. most efficient offense per Bart Torvik |
10 | Michigan | |
11 | Maryland | |
12 | Auburn | good win over NC State...still want to see them beat a top 15/20 team though |
13 | Villanova | +5, big win over Kansas although it was super ugly |
14 | Virginia | yiiiiiikes at the South Carolina loss |
15 | Florida State | RaiQuan Gray is breaking out, love the way he plays |
16 | Arizona | tough tough tough loss to St. John's. Sean Miller's best teams have excelled on defense, and this team ain't it yet. |
17 | Washington | +4. Washington gets no love from analytics, but I'm not sure why. They blow out bad teams, they beat Baylor, and barely lost to UT and Zags |
18 | Kentucky | Defense isn't there yet, and perimeter dudes have looked bad. Still waiting to see that grab and go transition ability from Whitney |
19 | Texas Tech | amazing that they handle Louisville and don't play well against baaaaad teams |
20 | Michigan State | |
21 | San Diego State | welcome to the rankings. didn't realize the Aztecs are up to 4 on Bart Torvik. blowing out Utah was good to see |
22 | Memphis | big drop (-6) for the Wiseman news...they're still good, the ceiling is just drastically lowered |
23 | Penn State | |
24 | West Virginia | FELL OUT: (20) VCU, (23) Tennessee, (25) Illinois, NEXT 5: Iowa, Saint Mary's, VCU, Illinois, BYU, Colorado |
25 | Wichita State | looked AWESOME against VCU. No star power, but they execute Gregg Marshall's offense and play so hard |
