Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | So potent offensively. Had my doubts about Jalen Suggs, those have been eliminated. |
2 | Baylor | Simply looked dominant in first two games. Beating a solid PAC team by 34 is impressive. |
3 | Wisconsin | No huge competition this past week, but they are just so experienced. |
4 | Iowa | Beat down two smaller opponents, but I mean they BEAT them down as they should. |
5 | West Virginia | 3 high quality wins right out of the gate, this team is legit. |
6 | Houston | 3 wins deep already, this team could be one of the best defensive teams in America. |
7 | Michigan State | Post-Cassius this team is further along than I thought they would be. |
8 | Illinois | Yes, they are 3-0, but they stay at 8 for me because 2 wins over terrible teams don't count and Ohio gave them a game. |
9 | Kansas | Hard to guard the Zags, but the lack of a true point has me concerned about this team going forward. |
10 | Duke | Might've just been an off-night, but still a 10 point win over Coppin isn't a margin you like if youre a duke fan. |
11 | Virginia Tech | A team that kind of came out of nowhere. Mike Young can really coach, and they beat a good Nova team. |
12 | Villanova | Close loss to VT, but wow this team still looked good in every game this week. JRE a beast. |
13 | Creighton | Really only dropping as a subject to others passing them. 11 point win over NDSU could have been better margin. |
14 | Tennessee | Didn't play a game yet, but will stay at 14 as I still see this as a good spot for them,. |
15 | Texas | Looked very dominant in their game this week, experience really showing. |
16 | Texas Tech | Two good games leading up to Houston, had a tough day offensively vs the cougs, still confident in them. |
17 | St. Louis | Watching these guys against LSU, they are really really good. |
18 | Oregon | No games yet, still feel like this is the right spot. |
19 | Florida State | No games yet. Excited to see them in action this week. |
20 | Ohio State | Looked solid in first two games, wasn't amazing agains lowell, but a win is a win. |
21 | North Carolina | Closer than the score suggests against Charleston, will have to see them play better to move up. |
22 | Louisville | 3-0. Close one over Seton Hall, but a quality win over a Big East team. |
23 | Virginia | Really worried about this team offensively. Could have just been a crazy upset, but they can't reliably score. |
24 | Maryland | Morsell-Ayala-Wiggins is a dangerous, rock-solid trio. Terps are legit. |
25 | San Diego State | 2 very good wins in my eyes, and both in pretty convincing fashion. Aztecs impressed this week. |
