Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Maryland | I'm not going to move my #1 team down without a loss. |
2 | Kentucky | I don't think Duke is the #5 team, but it was still a good win. |
3 | Villanova | I liked this team a lot last week and they gave me no reason not to this week. |
4 | Michigan State | They've looked very good in every game so far. |
5 | Iowa State | Moving up by virtue of not losing. Still haven't watched them this year. |
6 | North Carolina | No Marcus Paige, so this loss is an asterisk. Outside shooting is a problem right now. |
7 | Virginia | Some possible chinks in the pack line armor? GW is a good team, but it was still a disappointing loss. |
8 | Oklahoma | They looked OK against Memphis. |
9 | Kansas | Tough loss and still no Diallo. They should bounce back. |
10 | Gonzaga | Blowing out cupcakes is fine, but other teams had better wins |
11 | Indiana | Blew out Creighton. Is Creighton any good? |
12 | Duke | Tough loss vs Kentucky and some close ones with VCU and Georgetown. Grayson Allen critically important to this team. |
13 | Wichita State | The farthest faller in my rankings. No good reason to drop a game @Tulsa, but things happen. |
14 | California | Holding steady. |
15 | Arizona | Zeusing steady. |
16 | UConn | Big test coming this week vs Michigan. |
17 | Miami (FL) | Jumping onto the rankings with blowout wins against Butler, Utah, and MSST. |
18 | Notre Dame | Close call with Milwaukee, but got the W. |
19 | Purdue | In a dog fight with Florida, but they have the look of a top 20 team. |
20 | SMU | Nice win at Stanford. Shot a lot of long '2s though. |
21 | Cincinnati | Blowing out cupcakes. |
22 | West Virginia | Handling outmatched early season competition. |
23 | Butler | Some good and bad this week. Miami team is no joke. |
24 | Oregon | Baylor was a very good early season win. It was between Oregon and Xavier for this spot. |
25 | Providence | Good wins against Harvard and Illinois, but Illinois is playing with a decimated roster. |
