Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | Somebody find me the odds on a Gonzaga undefeated season so I can bet on the Zags please |
2 | Baylor | - |
3 | Kansas | +2 - I know this might not make sense at face value, but the loss to Gonzaga means nothing to me at all. We will see with this team. |
4 | Duke | +2 - Yes, their opener was less than inspiring. I want to see more before I move them aggressively in any direction |
5 | Wisconsin | +2 |
6 | Illinois | +3 |
7 | West Virginia | +3 WVU didn't play amazing but they have played a much harder schedule than most teams and found ways to win. I'm still high on this team. |
8 | Creighton | I didn't get a chance to watch Creighton this week nor was their first game enough information to move them. |
9 | Houston | +13 I ranked Houston a modest 22nd to open the season. They're much better than that. |
10 | Iowa | +2 Luka Garza playing as advertised. As soon as they can prove that their defense won't be a liability this year they will move up. |
11 | Michigan State | +2 I only caught a bit of the Notre Dame game, but MSU looks about how I'd expect. |
12 | Texas | +2 |
13 | Villanova | -10 |
14 | Texas Tech | -6 |
15 | Virginia | -11 |
16 | Tennessee | - |
17 | North Carolina | +1 |
18 | Oregon | +1 |
19 | Florida State | +1 |
20 | Florida | +4 |
21 | Ohio State | -4 Just a bit of a recalibration here. |
22 | Richmond | NR Didn't even play their best |
23 | Virginia Tech | NR I know some wont like how far I have Tech behind Villanova, but I don't think they are the better team at this point. Great win though. |
24 | St. Louis | NR A nice opening week win over LSU |
25 | Clemson | NR I will once again make the mistake of ranking a Brownell team early Dropped: Arizona St, Rutgers, Michigan |
