Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | seems like the clear choice |
2 | Baylor | |
3 | Gonzaga | |
4 | San Diego State | ultimately, not dropping them. still a fantastic resume. |
5 | Dayton | Right there with SDSU |
6 | Maryland | really odd week in that 4 of these top 6 so far lose, but don't drop. Lots of losing all around, but these still seem like top teams |
7 | Florida State | Can definitely see Duke above FSU, but giving nod to FSU this week for not losing to NC State |
8 | Duke | |
9 | Kentucky | |
10 | Creighton | I think I'm feeling good about the strength of the top Big East bunch. It's a challenge to rank them or Big 10 teams |
11 | Villanova | Can't punish too hard for losses in their record to other strong teams |
12 | Louisville | |
13 | Auburn | |
14 | Seton Hall | |
15 | Penn State | |
16 | Iowa | |
17 | BYU | |
18 | Oregon | |
19 | Michigan | have a nice little win streak going right now |
20 | Michigan State | |
21 | Colorado | |
22 | Texas Tech | |
23 | West Virginia | |
24 | Arizona State | |
25 | Butler | honorable mentions: rest of the Big Ten |
