| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Baylor
|
Tier S | I think this is the week the public perception flips |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 3 |
Michigan
|
Tier A | Please don't get cancelled this week *crosses fingers* |
| 4 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 5 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 6 |
Villanova
|
Don't let the name they lost to fool you. St. John's is a Q1 loss and they're playing their way into the tournament. |
| 7 |
Illinois
|
Tier B | They're hot! |
| 8 |
Houston
|
ECU? Really? |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
|
| 10 |
Oklahoma
|
|
| 11 |
Alabama
|
|
| 12 |
USC
|
|
| 13 |
Texas
|
Tier C |
| 14 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 15 |
Missouri
|
Honestly, I think Tennessee/Missouri is a toss-up right now, so I'm giving the slight edge to Tennessee on metrics |
| 16 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 17 |
Florida State
|
A good week to not play any games, I guess. Yikes. |
| 18 |
Loyola Chicago
|
Drake lost so now not ranking them last week was objectively correct. I don't make the rules! |
| 19 |
Iowa
|
Before you ask: yes, I do actually think Loyola Chicago would beat Iowa right now. If Indiana can sweep, Loyola's D can probably beat them. |
| 20 |
Wisconsin
|
Tier D | There's a pretty big gap between Tiers C and D |
| 21 |
Oklahoma State
|
Cade threw @ TCU |
| 22 |
Virginia Tech
|
Oy. I'm still really not too impressed by them but the bottom of the poll has just fallen off so hard. |
| 23 |
Rutgers
|
Ranked Rutgers is back on the menu! |
| 24 |
UCLA
|
USC is really good, folks |
| 25 |
Xavier
|
Fringe: Florida, Purdue, Clemson, Arkansas, and...screw it: St. John's |
