Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | I'll take the field over the Cats in the NCAAs, but I wouldn't bet my house on it. |
2 | Wisconsin | One of 2-3 teams that can beat UK. Helps that they have the best player in the country. |
3 | Virginia | If this were a power ranking, we might not be top 5. We're bad right now. But overall, we're #3 in the nation. |
4 | Villanova | Close between them and Duke, but they have a higher floor. |
5 | Duke | Great wins, but their losses are ugly. |
