Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | Pure dominance. |
2 | Baylor | Next best thing, looked fantastic versus Washington. |
3 | Iowa | Feel like everyone else lost, Garza is a monster, this team will score with anyone |
4 | Wisconsin | Looked good against meh competition. Still my pick to win the B1G! |
5 | Duke | Turnovers are an issue, but all the talent in the world is there. |
6 | Kansas | Ran with the Zags. Still a great team, just outpaced by the BEST team. |
7 | Illinois | Unstoppable in first two games, OU is a great MAC team that revealed some Illini weaknesses. |
8 | Michigan State | Never bet against Izzo. Good win over Notre Dame. |
9 | Houston | I love Houston. Looked fantastic for most of the win over TTU. |
10 | West Virginia | Solid, unconvincing wins over a decent slate of teams. Huggins' team will be in every game it plays. |
11 | Villanova | Clear weaknesses here. Could easily be 3-0, though. Has played a good schedule. |
12 | Virginia | Extremely confusing loss. Looked great before it. This team will bounce back. |
13 | Creighton | Okay win over NDSU...not much else is known yet. |
14 | Tennessee | We'll have to wait and see. |
15 | North Carolina | Will prove itself this week in Maui (Greensboro). |
16 | Texas | Big games coming up for Shaka and company. |
17 | Florida State | We'll have to wait and see. |
18 | Kentucky | A young group (as always). Potential is there. Just need some time. |
19 | Arizona State | Will put up points-- played with 'Nova for a while. Probably my pick in the Pac-12. |
20 | Richmond | EXPERIENCE! Didn't even play particularly well against Kentucky and still looked good. |
21 | St. Louis | Don't sleep on the Billys. Good win over LSU. |
22 | Texas Tech | Looked better in the second half against a fantastic Houston team. |
23 | Rutgers | Rock solid. Will win the games it should win. |
24 | Oregon | We'll have to wait and see. |
25 | Ohio State | Great against ISU, shaky against Lowell. Growing pains. NEXT 3: VT, SDSU, Michigan |
