Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | A good win @BYU and blows out San Francisco on the road. No reason for the Zags to drop. |
2 | Baylor | Didn't play this week. |
3 | Michigan | Were rusty in the first half @Wisconsin but pulled it together and got the win to stay in the #3 spot. |
4 | Ohio State | Two good wins this week against Indiana and Maryland. Unfortunately for the Buckeyes Michigan didn't lose. |
5 | Illinois | Beat Nebraska on the road but with a Villanova loss they jump up a spot. |
6 | Virginia | Two good wins this week and the Cavs are the top team in the ACC. |
7 | Villanova | Good win at home against Marquette but then a bad showing on the road drops Villanova. |
8 | Houston | Blew out USF on the road. There is no reason to drop Houston. |
9 | Oklahoma | Great win on the road against West Virginia. The Sooners are the real deal! |
10 | Iowa | A good win at home against Rutgers and a dominant showing @Michigan State jumps Iowa up the rankings. |
11 | Alabama | Despite a close road win against South Carolina, they rebound by showing a dominate performance at home against Georgia. |
12 | West Virginia | Great win on the road @Texas Tech and then a heartbreaking loss against Oklahoma. West Virginia has some good wins on the year. |
13 | Texas Tech | I have been low on the Red Raiders all year and with a loss at home against West Virginia I drop them some more. |
14 | Texas | A close win @Kansas State and a comfortable win at home against TCU. Big week next week for the Longhorns against Oklahoma and West Virginia |
15 | USC | With only three losses on the year the Trojans keep winning and keep rising. |
16 | Creighton | Revenge against Georgetown and a big win at home against Villanova leaves Creighton comfortably at 16. |
17 | Wisconsin | Beat Nebraska comfortably on the road and played good at Michigan but couldn't get the win. |
18 | Florida State | A scary overtime win at home against Wake Forest, but Florida State still only has three losses on the year. |
19 | Tennessee | A win at home against Georgia but then a horrible showing @LSU drops Tennessee significantly. |
20 | Missouri | Horrible loss @Ole Miss and then a close overtime loss at home against Arkansas hurts. A lot. |
21 | Kansas | Kansas jumps back in with two wins against Iowa State and a great home win against Oklahoma State. |
22 | Virginia Tech | Not playing hurts Virginia Tech this week. A win against Florida State next week would help a lot if they can play. |
23 | Loyola Chicago | Good win @Drake then a tough loss doesn't affect them much. |
24 | Oklahoma State | Didn't look good @Kansas but rebounds at home against Kansas State. The rest of their schedule is tough and they need some good wins. |
25 | Belmont | Belmont is 22-1 and looking good. Next 10: Xavier, Purdue, Rutgers, Minnesota, San Diego State, Louisville, Clemson, Colorado, Drake, UCLA. |
