|
|
| 11 |
Gonzaga

Don't think Gonzaga is 11th best team (higher) but couldn't put them above Bama after a neutral site loss |
| 12 |
Houston
|
Looking strong this week with some big wins (be it over bleh teams but the margins were absurd) |
| 13 |
Tennessee

Not sure how good they actually are but looked solid against Colorado who is a decent team |
| 14 |
Auburn

| 20 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 21 |
Ohio State

Been all over the place this season. This team could get upset in round of 64 or make a final 4 run |
| 22 |
Seton Hall
|
|

Oklahoma
|
|

Iowa

Lost by single digits at Mackey without Keegan Murray is pretty impressive and shows Iowa might be better than we thought |

Considered St. Bonaventure, Providence, St. Mary's, and Loyola. Conference play will seperate |
