Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | NC: I really wish Covid didn't exist |
2 | Baylor | NC: Because this game would have been incredible |
3 | Iowa | NC: So Luka Garza is the favorite for NPOY |
4 | Michigan State | +2 Avoided a big letdown against Detroit Mercy so we can celebrate their win over Duke with another gain |
5 | Kansas | +3 It wasn't pretty but Kansas pulls off a 3-0 week |
6 | Houston | +3 I am a big believer in this team and I am not afraid to show it |
7 | Illinois | -2 Sure they lost by double digits, but not many teams will beat Baylor this year |
8 | Villanova | +2 The win over Texas should shore up some doubts about this Nova team |
9 | Creighton | +2 Two big blowout wins. I need to see this team play somebody |
10 | Wisconsin | -6 Yeah, I did have them ranked too high |
11 | Tennessee | +1 How many weeks until they aren't eligible for a ranking? |
12 | Duke | -5 We will know if this Duke team is good or not after Tuesday |
13 | Florida State | +3 They took care of business to open up the season |
14 | West Virginia | -1 Sure they lost, but they gave Gonzaga a great game |
15 | Virginia | NC: They survived in OT to Kent St, but they have MSU this week |
16 | North Carolina | -2 Yes they lost to Texas, but this team is definitely an improvement over last year |
17 | Rutgers | +1 A calm 3-0 start for Rutgers |
18 | Virginia Tech | +4 Maybe I didn't give them enough credit last week. Nova's week helps them move up |
19 | Ohio State | NC: Undefeated, nothing much to see here |
20 | Texas Tech | NC: That loss to Houston is quality |
21 | Richmond | +2 So a win over Kentucky doesn't seem as impressive |
22 | Texas | +2 I wasn't giving Texas enough credit. They are good. |
23 | Michigan | NR: Another team that I didn't give enough credit |
24 | Florida | +1 I will still keep them ranked until I have a reason not to |
25 | San Diego State | NR: This was a top 5 team last year. Should have been ranked to start the year. |
