RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky [1] Kentucky
2 Duke University Logo 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 University of Virginia Logo 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 University Logo Villanova [6] This is a very good set of one seeds, although one of Duke or Virginia will drop
5 University of Arizona Logo Arizona [7] Great team that will either be upset in the second round or make the final four
6 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin [3] Really starting to make this ballot in terms of seed lines. Kind of glad it's ending next week
7 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland [17] Probably the biggest jump I've made this season, but let me explain:
8 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State [12] My #8, #9, #10, and #11 teams all lost this week.
9 University of Louisville Logo Louisville [14] My #13 team also lost, as did #15 and #16.
10 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga [2] So... just by not losing this week, you could make a huge jump up the standings.
11 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa [9]
12 Baylor University Logo Baylor [23] Wait, no, THIS is the biggest jump I've made
13 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame [8]
14 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma [19]
15 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina [10]
16 Butler University Logo Butler [22]
17 University of Kansas Logo 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 University Logo San Diego State [24]
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia [15]
20 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas [20] I hope no one dings them for losing at Rupp
21 University of Utah Logo Utah [18]
22 Brigham Young University Logo BYU [N5]
23 University of Oregon Logo Oregon [N5]
24 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State [13] Thinnest of ice
25 Louisiana State University Logo 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)
