RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them
2 Duke University Logo Duke LW: 3, +1.
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia LW: 2, -1. Louisville is a damn good team, and UVA only has 2 losses, both more quality than Nova's
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova LW: 4
5 University of Arizona Logo Arizona LW: 5
6 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin LW: 6
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga LW: 7
8 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame LW: 11, +3. They beat Louisville and that's why they're above them
9 University of Louisville Logo Louisville LW: 10, +1. Beating Virginia certainly offsets the loss to ND
10 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland LW: 13, +3.
11 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa LW: 14, +3.
12 University of Utah Logo Utah LW: 9, -3. Washington isn't terrible, but they aren't a solid loss
13 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State LW: 8, -5. Embarrassing end to the season for the Shockers
14 University of Kansas Logo Kansas LW: 12, -2. Oklahoma is a good team, not a huge fall.
15 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State LW: 18, +3.
16 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma LW: 15, -1.
17 Baylor University Logo Baylor LW: 16, -1. For Baylor and OU, all I can say is: Big 12 happened
18 University of Oregon Logo Oregon LW: 22, +4. I've liked them all year, they came on strong at the end of the year and benefitted from some upsets above them
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 19. Losing to higher ranked Kansas isn't a droppable event this week
20 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 21, +1. They lost to Duke, but they looked good in the game, despite the score
21 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas LW: 17, -4. The rough end of the year shows that their record might've benefitted from a weak conference.
22 Butler University Logo Butler LW: 20, -2. Losing to Georgetown isn't the worst thing, but it could've been better
23 Colorado State University Logo Colorado State LW: 23, +1.
24 Georgetown University Logo Georgetown LW: N/A, +2. Nice win over Butler to jump them into the rankings
25 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State LW: 23, -2. No shame in getting clobbered by Wisconsin
