Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | I'm obviously biased but it should be unanimous for Gonzaga after the two games they played |
2 | Baylor | Glad they're playing again, but it's going to be a tough week with Illinois and Gonzaga lurking |
3 | Iowa | Luka Garza |
4 | Illinois | Held off an impressive effort by Ohio after two dominating performances, but two big games coming up |
5 | Wisconsin | This team won't get tested for a few weeks, but they've done well so far |
6 | Creighton | I love my Jesuit bros |
7 | Duke | If Duke turns it over 22 times against Michigan State, it won't be close |
8 | Michigan State | Duke looms |
9 | West Virginia | Very impressive comeback win against WKU, looking forward to that Zags game this week |
10 | Houston | Impressive win versus the tortilla boys |
11 | Villanova | Tough loss on a last second scheduling addition |
12 | Kansas | Still impressive in the loss to Gonzaga. Looking forward to the UK game |
13 | Virginia | Gotta do better than that on offense |
14 | North Carolina | Started with a nothing game, still looked good though |
15 | Tennessee | Hope everyone will be okay and back to basketball sooner rather than later |
16 | Kentucky | Richmond is a solid team and will likely make the tournament, but you shouldn't lose to them by double digits at home |
17 | Texas | Shaka Smart has hair, not sure what else to say |
18 | Texas Tech | A terrible first half--maybe would have won had they played like they did in the second half the whole game |
19 | Rutgers | Haven't been really tested yet but impressive so far |
20 | Ohio State | Maybe UMass Lowell is actually a good team? |
21 | Florida State | It's hard what to know to do with these teams that I think are top 25 but haven't played any games yet |
22 | Oregon | See above |
23 | Arizona State | Nova loss wasn't too bad--they were in it the whole time. |
24 | Michigan | I'll choose to focus on the main positive of their Sunday game--Hunter Dickinson |
25 | Richmond | They're a solid team and they won by double digits in Rupp Arena, so I think this spot is well deserved |
