Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | |
2 | Baylor | |
3 | Villanova | |
4 | Tennessee | -1, wouldn't worry too much about the Bama loss; still have the best defense in the country |
5 | Texas | +1, feels criminal to only move them up one after a huge win in Lawrence, but those top 4 teams are all so tough. |
6 | Wisconsin | +1, not really concerned about the blip vs Maryland. they responded by dominating Minnesota |
7 | Houston | -3, this is less about the Tulsa loss and more about Caleb Mills's personal absence :( hope he comes back soon |
8 | Iowa | |
9 | Rutgers | |
10 | Kansas | -2, don't know what to make of this team, as their wings are so inconsistent |
11 | Illinois | feel really good about the top 11. the rest? kinda a crapshoot at this point |
12 | Minnesota | +6, got crushed by Wiscy, but bounced back by slaughtering tOSU. such is life in the B1G |
13 | Creighton | lot of close calls for the Jays, but good coaches/teams pull those games out |
14 | Texas Tech | -1, something feels off with them |
15 | Michigan | +9 because Hunter Dickinson |
16 | West Virginia | -7, even if he butted heads with Huggy Bear, that Tshiebwe departure HURTS |
17 | Missouri | +3, not often you get blown out by 20 in the same week and still move up a couple spots. but i'm very high on Arky and their D dominated the |
18 | Clemson | +11, tell your kids about Clempson basketball being the best in the ACC |
19 | Ohio State | -3 |
20 | Oregon | +16, done doubting Oregon. crushed an awesome Stanford team, KenPom loves them, somehow they're doing this without Will Richardson |
21 | Virginia | |
22 | Virginia Tech | +4, beneficiary of teams ahead of them losing and showing cracks. should've played better against the U though |
23 | Oklahoma State | +14, Cade and them are killing it. |
24 | Arkansas | |
25 | Florida State | next 5: UConn, Duke, SLU, Oklahoma, Florida |
