Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Baylor | |
2 | Gonzaga | |
3 | Auburn | I was dangerously close to putting them at #2 |
4 | UCLA | The fact they are playing again and recent losses to Purdue, Duke and Kansas have them here |
5 | Arizona | |
6 | Purdue | |
7 | Michigan State | |
8 | Ohio State | |
9 | Kansas | |
10 | Wisconsin | I wanted to move them higher and i'd hear arguments for them being as high as #5 |
11 | Duke | Is Miami good? Either way losing at home and the way they did is tough |
12 | Houston | They keep on surviving despite all theyve lost |
13 | LSU | |
14 | USC | Finally got a game in - still unsure on them |
15 | Villanova | |
16 | Seton Hall | |
17 | Oklahoma | |
18 | Iowa State | bad offense. this team has all the makings of ending up as a 7 seed after how high they were earlier but also 7 seed is still good |
19 | Xavier | |
20 | Providence | |
21 | Loyola Chicago | |
22 | Alabama | DANGEROUSLY close to getting dropped off the ballot |
23 | Texas | |
24 | Tennessee | |
25 | Indiana | Others considered: Kentucky, Texas, UConn, San Fran, San Diego St, Colorado State, Miami |
