| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
Beat the number 3 team in dominating fashion. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Just winning by 30 again. |
| 3 |
West Virginia
|
+1 ISU game wasn't pretty yes. ISU was shooting like 77% deep into the second half at one point making ridiculous shots. Resume is great |
| 4 |
Iowa
|
-1 Why WVU over Iowa when Iowa blew out ISU? Performance against top teams > average/bad teams. Iowa was really never in it vs. Zags |
| 5 |
Villanova
|
+1 A great week but no where for them to go IMO |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
+1 Ditto here.^ Tuesday will be big in deciding where both Kansas and WVU really stand. |
| 7 |
Houston
|
Handled business after quarantine. |
| 8 |
Wisconsin
|
+8 Outside of Zaga, best week out of any team ranked here. Throttled a team I still think highly of in Louisville. Wow. |
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
+4 When you more than double the score of both teams you play, you deserve to crack the top 10. |
| 10 |
Rutgers
|
+9 Big win against Illinois in the RAC. I'm here for the top 10 Rutgers hype. |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
-7 I filled this out before losing, and even said "I have them 5th but I'm not high on them." Then they got beat bad. They settle here 4 now |
| 12 |
Texas
|
-1 Didn't look overly impressive this week. Did pick up a quality win. No where to go for them. |
| 13 |
Creighton
|
-3 Tough loss to Marquette who can beat anyone and lose to anyone in back to back games. Rest of week was solid. |
| 14 |
Missouri
|
No games. No movement. Makes life easy. |
| 15 |
Illinois
|
-6 Furthest I can drop them is 15th. They will be fine. Rutgers is a great team, and it was on the road. |
| 16 |
Texas Tech
|
+2 Yeah so TTU moved up in a loss. A one point loss to a top 5ish team, in a week of teams ranked 10-20 losing worse games. |
| 17 |
Duke
|
+3 This feels too high, but they didn't lose. |
| 18 |
Xavier
|
+8 A three point win against Marquette and a weird week. |
| 19 |
Michigan
|
+5 They really could've taken advantage of a lot of teams losing, but they were off. |
| 20 |
St. Louis
|
+6 This is still a good team, even with the road loss to Minny. It seemed to me like STL was still the better team. High Effort. |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
-9 Three quality wins and a weird loss. UCF is hot and cold but they were lights out against FSU in the second half. |
| 22 |
North Carolina
|
+5 Is Kentucky good? No. Is UNC good. IDK. A weird team this year. |
| 23 |
Ohio State
|
-8 Two solid wins, and a loss. This drop is more of an adjustment than thinking they deserve to fall that many spots |
| 24 |
Richmond
|
You beat an SEC school by ten and didn't lose? Welcome back! +4 |
| 25 |
San Diego State
|
-8 BYU is a quality team. 26. UVA (can't keep justifying them as ranked w/o seeing them), 27. Oregon, 28. VTech, 29. Arkansas, 30. Ok State |
