Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | Beat Gonzaga |
2 | Gonzaga | Very close between Gonzaga and Purdue. While I think Purdue has the better resume i still think gonzaga could win H2H |
3 | Purdue | |
4 | Baylor | Won Battle 4 Atlantis quite easily |
5 | Texas | This feels wrong and a bit biased but teams in front keep crashing down. |
6 | Kentucky | |
7 | UCLA | I felt like they got a bit exposed. Especially after watching the duke game i don't think this ranking is quite inaccurate. |
8 | Villanova | Placing this team is still tough but still behind UCLA bc H2H obvs. |
9 | Arkansas | |
10 | Kansas | Dayton loss was really bad. Even in a close win they would've been brought down |
11 | Tennessee | |
12 | BYU | |
13 | Iowa State | May be a bit high but they destroyed Memphis and also beat Xavier. Also undefeated. |
14 | Houston | Ranking drop redeemed by crushing blow of Oregon. This is where the rankings get very....murky |
15 | Memphis | |
16 | Alabama | Iona isn't the worst midmajor and they played very solidly the rest of the tourney |
17 | Arizona | |
18 | Florida | |
19 | Michigan | |
20 | UConn | Ranking the next 3 was very hard. All 3 went 2-1 in Battle 4 Atlantis and were decent. |
21 | Auburn | Cont. This is how i think they would finish if all 3 played head 2 head. |
22 | Michigan State | |
23 | Wisconsin | Won Maui and beat Houston. Deserves a top-25 promotion. |
24 | St. Bonaventure | Wins from Charleston keep the bonnies from falling out of the top 25 |
25 | USC | Not convinced about them yet but they're undefeated. |
