Submitted on Monday, December 21, 2020 at 9:41AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
NC: What a performance in the win over Iowa |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
NC: A 30 point win over K-State but was it really that close |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
+2 They squeaked another close game out and now have a very tough week ahead |
| 4 |
Iowa
|
-1 Defending top offenses is going to be their downfall come March |
| 5 |
Houston
|
+1 I am a huge believer in this team |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
+1 I think they have found their stride |
| 7 |
Wisconsin
|
+2 I am actually not too high on them. They have proven this ranking |
| 8 |
Creighton
|
+2 They bounced back well this week. Also my Huskies look like a solid squad. |
| 9 |
Michigan State
|
-5 Northwestern beat the wrong 4th ranked team in my opinion |
| 10 |
Tennessee
|
+1 This is my pick to win the SEC |
| 11 |
Rutgers
|
+3 Rutgers is a legit B1G contender. There, I said it. |
| 12 |
West Virginia
|
+1 They escaped with a win over Iowa St, but play like that will not fly against Kansas |
| 13 |
Virginia
|
+2 They haven't played in so long that I am starting to forget about their bad loss. Good thing Saturday will answer all questions |
| 14 |
Illinois
|
-6 I had them at 8 even with 2 losses, so any bigger of a drop would be unfair for a team i still think highly of |
| 15 |
North Carolina
|
+2 They only played once this week, right? |
| 16 |
Texas
|
+4 I am still low on Texas compared to most. They should be okay this week so maybe they make another jump for me |
| 17 |
Duke
|
+1 They looked much better against ND |
| 18 |
Florida State
|
-6 One loss isn't the end of the world, but it isn't the one i expected to see |
| 19 |
Michigan
|
+2 I think this is a quality team |
| 20 |
Missouri
|
+5 I am always afraid to jump teams too far into the ranking but I did them a disservice |
| 21 |
Texas Tech
|
-2 I think this is a good team. I am lower than most, but they have to beat some good teams to get rewarded |
| 22 |
Ohio State
|
-6 Nobody wins at Purdue but I am a little upset they couldn't cover +6.5 |
| 23 |
Virginia Tech
|
NC I feel justified in keeping them ranked over Clemson now |
| 24 |
Xavier
|
NR I think an 8-0 BE team should be ranked. That was a quality game winner too |
| 25 |
San Diego State
|
-3 I didn't think anyone else deserved this spot so they can keep it. (Dropped: Louisville) |
