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