Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Baylor | 1A- I cant in good conscious not have Baylor #1 with the quality of their wins |
2 | Gonzaga | 1B - on the other hand I might move Gonzaga back up to #1 if they wallop BYU |
3 | Michigan | |
4 | Ohio State | a well oiled unit, they break into the top 5 after beating Iowa |
5 | 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 | 5-9 is a crapshoot they move up to 6 after beating Oklahoma |
7 | Villanova | this might be SLIGHTLY high for them, I'd hear a case for them being as low as 9 |
8 | Missouri | however, I can't mizzou above Villanova |
9 | Oklahoma | |
10 | Houston | loss to ECU is a blemish. They should try and schedule someone to try and get another marquee win |
11 | Alabama | |
12 | Iowa | swept by Indiana on the season. Fran is kind of fucking things up here. |
13 | Texas | they;ve dropped 3 in a row and are lucky they aren't further down. Painful lack of execution vs Oklahoma State |
14 | Virginia | |
15 | West Virginia | |
16 | Oklahoma State | I've been high on them all year and while they have struggled they keep winning |
17 | Virginia Tech | |
18 | 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 | |
20 | Tennessee | beautiful D and a mess on O. |
21 | 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 Chicago | Drake fucked up. I wanted them to both be ranked coming into that match up |
23 | Wisconsin | |
24 | Louisville | |
25 | Florida | Others considered: UConn, SDSU, Drake, GTech, UCLA, Kansas, Rutgers |
