Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | I had Baylor here last week but jeeeeez. That Iowa game. |
2 | Baylor | Drops from 1A to 1B, really. They're still streets ahead of the rest of the pack. |
3 | Iowa | Not docking Iowa at all. Gonzaga's just that efficient. Garza still went for 30 and 10! |
4 | Villanova | |
5 | Texas | |
6 | Wisconsin | I don't even know what to make of the Louisville game. Wisconsin shot lights out and Louisville was clearly not right from COVID. |
7 | Houston | |
8 | Kansas | Not as dominant as 2020 Kansas, but still probably at least a 3-seed |
9 | West Virginia | |
10 | Tennessee | It's gonna be really weird seeing a team besides Kentucky just use the SEC as its plaything |
11 | Rutgers | Alright, you've sold me. Win twice in this B1G and you deserve this huge a jump. |
12 | Missouri | |
13 | Oregon | |
14 | Illinois | Illinois is gonna be this year's version of last year's Purdue, eh? A few good wins but end up around .500 and metrics somehow love 'em? |
15 | Creighton | |
16 | Xavier | Oy, how's that for a first game back from pause?! |
17 | North Carolina | Kentucky isn't a tournament team and the Heels still have some apparent offensive woes. |
18 | Michigan State | Even Northwestern is a B1G cannibal. Yikes. |
19 | Texas Tech | This team plays amazing defense but they've lost both of the real games they've played, so I'm not sold on them quite yet. |
20 | Michigan | |
21 | Florida State | UCF got pounded by Michigan and beat Florida State by double digits, so that means Michigan must be better, right? Right?!?! |
22 | Duke | Congratulations to Duke on beating the 13th best team in the ACC. Their next bout is at home against the 11th best team. |
23 | San Diego State | The final score of the BYU game was misleading but they're on thin ice now that Arizona State is apparently a fraud. |
24 | Clemson | Brownell |
25 | Ohio State | Fringe: Virginia Tech, Florida, Virginia, Purdue, Indiana, Connecticut |
