Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | [1] Kentucky |
2 | Duke | [4] I'm using the head-to-head here; despite their resume I think Duke beats UVA on a neutral court most days |
3 | Virginia | [5] Maybe selection bias too but I feel like UVa has had both more close calls and more complete blowouts than Duke |
4 | Villanova | [6] This is a very good set of one seeds, although one of Duke or Virginia will drop |
5 | Arizona | [7] Great team that will either be upset in the second round or make the final four |
6 | Wisconsin | [3] Really starting to make this ballot in terms of seed lines. Kind of glad it's ending next week |
7 | Maryland | [17] Probably the biggest jump I've made this season, but let me explain: |
8 | Wichita State | [12] My #8, #9, #10, and #11 teams all lost this week. |
9 | Louisville | [14] My #13 team also lost, as did #15 and #16. |
10 | Gonzaga | [2] So... just by not losing this week, you could make a huge jump up the standings. |
11 | Northern Iowa | [9] |
12 | Baylor | [23] Wait, no, THIS is the biggest jump I've made |
13 | Notre Dame | [8] |
14 | Oklahoma | [19] |
15 | North Carolina | [10] |
16 | Butler | [22] |
17 | Kansas | [11] I'm petty enough to bump Kansas down a spot because a KU fan downvoted me a bunch. Are you petty enough to argue with me about that? |
18 | San Diego State | [24] |
19 | West Virginia | [15] |
20 | Arkansas | [20] I hope no one dings them for losing at Rupp |
21 | Utah | [18] |
22 | BYU | [N5] |
23 | Oregon | [N5] |
24 | Iowa State | [13] Thinnest of ice |
25 | LSU | [New] Bit of a mess for the last spot; I know an LSU fan so that's that (Next Five: Davidson, St. John's, Texas A&M, SMU, Providence) |
