| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Baylor
|
Does this need explanation? Great win over Nova, and everyone else looks flawed |
| 2 |
Duke
|
The road loss to OSU isn't as bad as it looks. I don't see anyone else deserving of being here |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
Yikes. Rough week. The "win" at NCSU was ugly, but their resume is still excellent. |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
Yeah, I know they've looked bad of late, but so have a lot of teams in this range. I still like their resume and talent. |
| 5 |
UCLA
|
Solid win over Marquette, but their best win is Nova and that's aging poorly. I still prefer Gonzaga. |
| 6 |
Arizona
|
Wins over Wyoming and Illinois were really impressive. I could justify putting them at #4 even but that's a bit too early for me |
| 7 |
Alabama
|
Not as much because of the win over Houston, but because Kentucky and Texas Lost. Nate Goates is legit. |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
A beatdown of Missouri doesn't mean that much, but they looked great doing it. |
| 9 |
Villanova
|
Jeez. I know Baylor is really good but putting up only 36 is awful. All of their losses are to great teams, though. |
| 10 |
Houston
|
The loss to Alabama is pretty "quality" if you ask me. This is a really good team. |
| 11 |
Texas
|
I'm not sure where to put them. A loss at SHU is not bad, but Texas lacks quality wins. |
| 12 |
USC
|
Honestly, they're only here because everyone ahead of them lost. They're good, but I'm afraid they might make this rating look bad. |
| 13 |
Iowa State
|
These mf'rs are good. I don't know how, but you can't deny their record anymore, especially with the mediocrity around them. |
| 14 |
Michigan State
|
Their only losses are to title contenders. This team passes the eye test, too. |
| 15 |
LSU
|
The first half at GT was ugly but the second half showed how dominant this team can be. Fvkc Will Wade |
| 16 |
Kentucky
|
ND is better than people think but its still an ugly loss. By my count, they have zero quality wins. |
| 17 |
Ohio State
|
The buckeyes keep racking up nice wins. |
| 18 |
Seton Hall
|
Their only loss was a close one to OSU. I could rank them higher honestly, but I don't have the balls to. |
| 19 |
Auburn
|
KP loves these guys. I like them but their best win is over Cuse, which is fine but not amazing. |
| 20 |
UConn
|
I can live with a road loss to WVU, but the whole 11-22 range feels weak rn. I could see any of them there. |
| 21 |
Tennessee
|
Texas Tech is not a bad loss. But besides beat UNC, what have the Vols done? |
| 22 |
Arkansas
|
Losing to Oklahoma isn't bad, but getting smoked is. Their resume is pretty weak. |
| 23 |
Oklahoma
|
Two close losses and two solid wins. They deserve a ranking. |
| 24 |
Xavier
|
X gon' give it to ya. |
| 25 |
Illinois
|
I just don't see a team with Kofi and this much talent deserving to be unranked. Arizona was a quality loss. |
