Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Baylor | Still by far the best. |
2 | Gonzaga | Still got many questions to overcome i feel even though they're number 2 but they'll probably mow through the west coast soooo yea. |
3 | Auburn | Survive and Advance. Also this team is insane. Can't believe they're this high but they are. |
4 | Duke | Miami could be good but really? Did it have to be that close. |
5 | Purdue | Unconvincing game against Penn State has me worried. |
6 | Arizona | Postponement versus USC and UCLA are unfortunate. need games to better gauge. |
7 | USC | Need to play games. |
8 | Michigan State | They didn't fuck up so congrats. |
9 | UCLA | Ditto with other pac-12 games + still unconvinced of their strength. |
10 | Houston | Very convincing. |
11 | LSU | 2 very convincing wins against top teams. Firmly established as 2 in SEC. This assumes Auburn is just that good. |
12 | Iowa State | Dominating defense and lost close game to Oklahoma. Definitely not the best week but could be worse. |
13 | Villanova | Regained form through big east play. Maybe they've turned into peak form but their losses in nonconf still have me...unconvinced |
14 | Texas Tech | Most impressive loss in the country. This defense is insanely good. I mean it helps that they keep the same system from last year. |
15 | Wisconsin | Johnny Davis suddenly became POTY material. |
16 | Ohio State | You probably should be lower but idfk what to do. |
17 | Alabama | This team really beat gonzaga. |
18 | Kentucky | Eh. |
19 | Tennessee | Game against kentucky will determine their long term fate in the SEC. Again. This team still baffles me. |
20 | Oklahoma | Showing promise. Reserving some judgement as i think the sec clump above is slightly better but they could easily surge up the leaderboards. |
21 | Illinois | Making great strides to overcome nonconf dissapointment. |
22 | Texas | Pretty miserable games. They still have promise. You could argue they should be out of the top 25. But i'm a homer. Their defense is legit. |
23 | Miami (FL) | You beat duke and are top of the ACC with 5 wins. Take this top 25 until you get exposed again. |
24 | Providence | Win over seton hall saved them from falling out. That marquette game was....pretty shiot. |
25 | Seton Hall | Dunno what to think of you. |
