Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Purdue | Had them one last week and still think they belong there despite other teams having big weeks |
2 | Baylor | impressive win at Atlantis, Villanova at home in 2 weeks should be super interesting |
3 | Duke | Mark Williams is way better than I thought and therefore i probably underrated duke at the start of the season |
4 | Gonzaga | Huge win over UCLA, not going undefeated this year but def a title favorite |
5 | Villanova | 2 collapses but how slowly they play could benefit them greatly in the more even playing field of the NCAA tournament |
6 | Kentucky | benefits from the chaos of the week but the duke loss is starting to look much better |
7 | UCLA | Tough loss to the Zags, still clearly has a super high celing, below Nova because i think Villanova wins that game on a neutral court |
8 | Florida | great start to the season and deserves a large bump |
9 | Texas | Above Kansas because Dayton is a truly terrible loss |
10 | BYU | Great win at Utah, loss to oregon doesn't look as good but BYU will be dangerous |
11 | Kansas | 12-30 pretty interchangeable |
12 | Iowa State | |
13 | Tennessee | |
14 | Arkansas | |
15 | UConn | |
16 | Arizona | |
17 | Seton Hall | |
18 | Alabama | |
19 | Houston | |
20 | Auburn | |
21 | Wisconsin | |
22 | Marquette | |
23 | Xavier | |
24 | Colorado State | |
25 | USC | Michigan State, St. Bonaventure, Texas Tech, Memphis, Providence, Indiana, Illinois, DePaul |
