RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga uh yeh, def deserve to be #1 dominating kansas (for a top 5 matchup) and auburn
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor seems an easy first week in the sense they 30+ win in both games
3 University of Iowa Logo Iowa well the offense certainly looks as good as advertised (against bad teams) which is probably why they are a bit above kenpoms rank
4 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois started insane with the offense, then real close with Ohio interesting
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas lost to zaga, kinda expected for sure, and dominated st joes so that's fine
6 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin starting hot
7 Duke University Logo Duke 10 pt win against a bad bad team, so ok I suppose
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky well not the best outcome against richmond but they are young and richmond does seem solid
9 Creighton University Logo Creighton seems an easy week in a sense here
10 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State I mean they arent ranked but beating Notre Dame is impressive-ish
11 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee didnt do anything, thanks covid
12 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech big win against nova is why there is such a huge jump
13 University of Houston Logo Houston good win against TTU and ok against bsu as well
14 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia going 3-0 seems solid not a ton of teams seemed able too.
15 Villanova University Logo Villanova well good winsinitially (like vs ASU) but that Vtech loss isn't the best, still WAY high on kenpom tho
16 University of Virginia Logo Virginia when you say a loss isnt the best losing to San Fran as a top 4 team is not great
17 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina they played a game, so thats a thing
18 Florida State University Logo Florida State off
19 University of Oregon Logo Oregon off
20 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech were seen as strong in kenpom, loss to houston isnt too bad (similar ranks) but not great in score
21 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas wow did really well against UTRGV, (who? oh rio grand valley didnt know they were a thing. oh they were established in 2013 neat) kenpom #8?
22 Rutgers University Logo Rutgers with these sunday games we got more 3-0 folks which apparently is hard in general, een if their opponents dont read like universities
