Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | |
2 | Baylor | |
3 | West Virginia | +1, looked great against Gonzaga. offense has improved dramatically from last year |
4 | Tennessee | |
5 | Houston | |
6 | Villanova | |
7 | Texas | +21, MAUI BUMP. but for real, their play on the floor has matched their KenPom and T Rank rankings. Love Kai Jones |
8 | Michigan State | +10, win at Cameron showcased just an awesome defense. Rocket looks ready to lead em. |
9 | Creighton | |
10 | Duke | -2, as much as I'd love to see Duke suck all year, seems like a matter of time before they start gelling |
11 | Illinois | |
12 | Kansas | -6, they look all out of sorts and that Kentucky win has lost its luster |
13 | Iowa | |
14 | North Carolina | |
15 | Texas Tech | |
16 | Wisconsin | Johnny Davis is awesome and drastically raises their ceiling |
17 | Florida State | |
18 | Louisville | +6, they just keep on ascending even without Williamson, Minlend, and Williams |
19 | Indiana | |
20 | Arkansas | okay, I love the Hogs, but can they play a real team already? |
21 | UCLA | |
22 | Richmond | |
23 | Rutgers | |
24 | Virginia Tech | FELL OUT: Kentucky, Oregon (injury to Richardson), Alabama |
25 | Stanford | Next 5: Ohio State, UConn, Oklahoma State, Alabama, Arizona State |
