Tier 1- Gonzaga good = |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
baylor also good but slightly less so = |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
Tier 2- Played the best game of their season against what appears to be a decent Marquette team. Will be out of action for a bit +1 |
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
would have dropped further if they lost, but wisconsin proved they can win on the road. +3 |
| 5 |
Kansas
|
Look like a far better team than they were early season, and kept up with gonzaga as well as anyone this season+3 |
| 6 |
Texas
|
Tier 3 = |
| 7 |
Iowa

| 9 |
West Virginia
|
-4 |
| 10 |
Creighton
|
+3 |
| 11 |
Rutgers

Rutgers were taking care of ohio state until some refball came into play and they lost their bigs. Still, they should have beaten OSU -2 |
| 12 |
Missouri
|
Tier 4- although bradley is decent, squeaking out wins against lower caliber teams will wear a roster down -2 |

Tennessee
|
Continue to dominate not good teams. Enormous game @Mizzou this week. +2 |
| 14 |
Illinois
|
+5 |
| 15 |
Michigan State

Their resume is balancing on a duke win that looks less and less appealing. Wisconsin is no joke though -4 |

Tier 5 @creighton is no joke and they were in it until the end. home game vs villanova would have been nice but its cancelled now -2 |

I'm not a big fan of the narrative that the b10 is great but eat each other up in conference play, but here we are +1 |
