Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | Keep winning, keep being ranked at 1. |
2 | Baylor | |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | San Diego State | MAP. |
5 | Dayton | Obi Toppin. |
6 | Louisville | |
7 | Florida State | |
8 | Maryland | Hell of a win @Illinois. |
9 | Seton Hall | |
10 | Auburn | |
11 | Duke | Worst no-call in recent history. |
12 | Penn State | (Here is where it starts getting really, really tricky.) |
13 | Butler | (So many teams in this part of the rankings have 5, 6, or 7 losses, it's hard to really evaluate resumes.) |
14 | West Virginia | |
15 | Colorado | |
16 | Houston | May be the only team in the American with an at-large-worthy resume when the dust settles. |
17 | URI | |
18 | Marquette | |
19 | Villanova | |
20 | Iowa | Luka Garza. |
21 | Oregon | (Cats and Dogs) |
22 | LSU | (Lots of teams with multi-game losing streaks make it even harder.) |
23 | Kentucky | Still no idea what to make of this team. |
24 | Creighton | (So many kinda-sorta-good teams, but only 25 places to put them.) |
25 | Purdue | Sure, I'll give them a shoutout for an impressive win @Indiana. |
