Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Very convincing over Duke. 5/6 teams w/ 1st place votes here lost this week, so yeah. |
2 | Arizona | zeuszeuszeusZeusZeuzsuszeuszsueusezueuszuusuzesuususzueuzski |
3 | Michigan State | When a bunch of top teams lose, and MSU had one of those wins, I'll say they have a good argument to be here. |
4 | Maryland | Apparently Georgetown is the best 3 loss team in the country. |
5 | Villanova | Went to look at my rankings and almost forgot Nova. Look forward to their matchup with OU |
6 | Iowa State | McKay had a couple dunks in the first two games from what I hear. Not tested until Dec 10 against Iowa, 12/19 UNI, 12/22 at Cincy. |
7 | Duke | Losing to Kentucky isn't bad, but the lack of offense outside of Grayson "Ted Cruz" Allen (for real tho, they look so much alike) |
8 | North Carolina | I do not think the UNI loss should be too concerning for UNC. |
9 | Kansas | Diallo would be great to have, but even without him, expect another conference title.. |
10 | Oklahoma | Rankings may be fucky this week as some top teams lost to each other, but other top teams are untested. Give it some time.. |
11 | Gonzaga | Best frontcourt in the country. |
12 | Virginia | Probably a bit harsh on them for losing at GW, especially after win over solid LBSU team. |
13 | Purdue | Purdue is looking real good. Wouldn't be surprised if they break top 10 in the next couple weeks. |
14 | Indiana | Top of the Big10 looking solid. Bottom, not so much. |
15 | Cincinnati | Defense last year was superb. This year, granted against bad teams, the offense has looked stronger. |
16 | Miami (FL) | I overreacted to Miami's early wins last year. That said, I think they're the real deal this year. Watch out, ACC. |
17 | Notre Dame | Win over Milwaukee was good. Could look better at season's end. |
18 | California | We'll see. |
19 | Oregon | Wins over Baylor and Valpo. |
20 | LSU | Ben Simmons is a decent basketball player |
21 | Vanderbilt | Actually haven't seen them play yet, but then again they haven't played anyone yet. I'm a bit wary here, just have to watch them. |
22 | Xavier | dominated the boards against a poor rebounding Michigan team |
23 | UConn | The top 4 AAC teams will be very competitive. Should be fun to watch. |
24 | Tulsa | FRANK HAITH FRANK HAITH HANK FAITH FAITH IN HAITH FAITH IN HAITH |
25 | Wichita State | Honorable Mentions: Western Illinois, SMU, George Washington, Iowa, Baylor |
