RankTeamReason
1 Baylor University Logo Baylor Congrats for not getting Covid
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Was gonna put you at 1, but you got Covid before you played Baylor
3 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Play somebody so I can keep you here
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova What a stone cold win over Texas. This team is legit.
5 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Your 2020 winners of the Maui Bump! Texas is back.
6 Creighton University Logo Creighton I really hope y'all can keep this up once you play somebody
7 University of Houston Logo Houston These guards are amazing. In the words of the great Bill Walton, "This is the best I've ever seen them play."
8 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia The Mountain Mamas have proved themselves. But their real test: Can Derek Culver make a free throw? The jury is still out.
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Izzo's Green Giants are walking a thin tightrope right now that Kansas and Kentucky already fell off. This is a critical week for MSU.
10 Duke University Logo Duke Duke doesn't reach full potential until January. So I'll just slide them here for now.
11 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State Undefeated in the Pac 12. Tied for First. Cheers Sun Devils, right behind the real Devils.
12 Florida State University Logo Florida State Solid win vs North Florida. Ole' Lenny Hamilton will have his squad ready to take on the Hoosiers.
13 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois Are you guys good? Or nah? Figure it out. Or I drop you more like Kansas.
14 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina That game against Texas really impressed me. You still can't shoot though, and that really worries me.
15 Rutgers University Logo Rutgers Honestly you haven't done anything to make me move you up or down, so here you go.
16 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Tech needs to impress me more. They aren't playing with the same fire that past Tech teams have played with. Pick it up, Beard.
17 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State They might have the best defense in the NCAA, no joke. No stars. Team basketball. Right where they left off, but without Flynn.
18 University of Richmond Logo Richmond The Spidermen beat Kentucky, and they're still rolling. Definitely contenders in the A 10.
19 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State No bias here. Cade Cunningham. The Mike Boynton press. Th Cowboys have a chip on their shoulder, and they look very very good.
20 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Ok you lost to Marquette, which the team above you absolutely destroyed. So play better.
21 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Chris Mack is the Stone Cold Steve Austin of the NCAA. No wonder Calipari was scared to schedule him.
22 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech Struggled with VMI, but there was some flukiness to the game, so I'll just keep you here.
23 University of Michigan Logo Michigan I doubted you vs Oakland, then looked back and there was some flukiness to the game. Good win vs UCF. This team still looks good.
24 University of Missouri Logo Missouri MIZ...ZOU. I don't know a single player on this team, but boy are they winning at a rate they haven't had in a decade. Props.
25 Saint Louis University Logo St. Louis This team deserves more love. They're a good team who beat LSU. Rank them.
