Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | LW: 1 |
2 | Purdue | LW: 6 -> Super impressive showing in Vegas |
3 | UCLA | LW: 3 |
4 | Kansas | LW: 2 -> Kansas keeps winning but their SOS is hurting their case to stay at the top |
5 | Duke | LW: 5 -> A healthy AJ Griffin makes this Duke team that much more dangerous |
6 | Baylor | LW: 10 -> Baylor is the biggest beneficiary of some T-10 shake-ups |
7 | Villanova | LW: 4 -> You can't spell Q U A L I T Y L O S S E S without 'Villanova' (still think they're a really, really good team) |
8 | Texas | LW: 7 |
9 | Kentucky | LW: 13 |
10 | Memphis | LW: 14 -> Memphis is doing a lot of things right, but 86 turnovers through four games is NOT one of them |
11 | Houston | LW: 17 |
12 | Tennessee | LW: 11 -> Thrashed by Nova but a respectable win over a struggling UNC team |
13 | Alabama | LW: 12 -> Struggled for all 40 minutes against a bad South Alabama team |
14 | Illinois | LW: 8 -> The offense has to get going and I think it does with Kofi back |
15 | Arkansas | LW: 16 |
16 | Virginia Tech | LW: 18 -> Next week (Memphis) will tell us a lot about this relatively untested VA Tech team |
17 | Florida | LW: 20 |
18 | Arizona | LW: NR |
19 | BYU | LW: NR -> Looked incredible against Oregon but haven't been particularly dominant outside of that win |
20 | St. Bonaventure | LW: 25 |
21 | UConn | LW: 21 -> Finally playing some real competition next week (Auburn) |
22 | Auburn | LW: 22 |
23 | Seton Hall | LW: NR |
