RankTeamReason
1 Baylor University Logo Baylor 1A- I cant in good conscious not have Baylor #1 with the quality of their wins
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga 1B - on the other hand I might move Gonzaga back up to #1 if they wallop BYU
3 University of Michigan Logo Michigan
4 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State a well oiled unit, they break into the top 5 after beating Iowa
5 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois I had them at 8 but after back and forth I convinced myself they deserved it and I put them at 5
6 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech 5-9 is a crapshoot they move up to 6 after beating Oklahoma
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova this might be SLIGHTLY high for them, I'd hear a case for them being as low as 9
8 University of Missouri Logo Missouri however, I can't mizzou above Villanova
9 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma
10 University of Houston Logo Houston loss to ECU is a blemish. They should try and schedule someone to try and get another marquee win
11 University of Alabama Logo Alabama
12 University of Iowa Logo Iowa swept by Indiana on the season. Fran is kind of fucking things up here.
13 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas they;ve dropped 3 in a row and are lucky they aren't further down. Painful lack of execution vs Oklahoma State
14 University of Virginia Logo Virginia
15 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia
16 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State I've been high on them all year and while they have struggled they keep winning
17 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech
18 Creighton University Logo Creighton They were going to drop lower but I think Georgetown has kind of figured it out. So that loss isn''t as bad in reality
19 Florida State University Logo Florida State
20 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee beautiful D and a mess on O.
21 University of Southern California Logo USC I've had them unranked because they jhaven't had a win to write home about. The UCLA win is convincing and good. and Kenpom supports them
22 Loyola University Chicago Logo Loyola Chicago Drake fucked up. I wanted them to both be ranked coming into that match up
23 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
24 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
25 University of Florida Logo Florida Others considered: UConn, SDSU, Drake, GTech, UCLA, Kansas, Rutgers
