Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | Can't wait to see these guys play again |
2 | Baylor | Shutdowns suck |
3 | Iowa | Iowa state took the bold strategy of not defending Garza on the pick and pop |
4 | Michigan State | Top 4 stays the same due to shutdowns and underwhelming schedules |
5 | Kansas | Played a pretty tough schedule so far and have done pretty well with it |
6 | Houston | Just chillin |
7 | Creighton | Can't punish them much for the loss--close game throughout |
8 | Villanova | Looking forward to the battle of the V schools for the right to carry the V card |
9 | Texas | Has anyone seen Shaka Smart and Samson in the same room? |
10 | West Virginia | I think if I had to pick today, they'd be my pick to win the Big 12 |
11 | Wisconsin | Moved down one spot just to make room for West Virginia after their impressive win over the spiders |
12 | Tennessee | Glad to see this team playing again |
13 | Virginia | See above re V card |
14 | Texas Tech | We'll ignore the 51 points against Abilene Christian and just look at the W |
15 | Rutgers | Syracuse was the first real opponent they saw--I feel like an underwhelming non con is hiding how good this team is |
16 | Florida State | Both the teams they played this week, though unranked, are likely tournament teams, so an impressive week |
17 | Ohio State | Beating ND only by 5 looked a lot better after what ND pulled on Saturday |
18 | San Diego State | MAP |
19 | Missouri | Cuonzo, welcome to the Top 25 |
20 | Illinois | Hard to know what to do with this team when they win in Cameron by 15 but then lose to Mizzou |
21 | Michigan | I've said it before and I'll say it again: Hunter Dickinson |
22 | North Carolina | With the way the Iowa game started, it could have ended a lot worse |
23 | Clemson | Clemson is now a basketball school |
24 | Duke | Have played like a young and inexperienced team |
25 | Louisville | Next 5 (no particular order): UCLA, Oregon, Oklahoma St, Indiana, St Louis |
