Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Two 20 point victories isn't getting you moved down. |
2 | Michigan State | Almost put them at #1 this week because they played 4 games and we are getting more info on how great they are. |
3 | Villanova | |
4 | Cincinnati | No one could have watched the game against George Washington and thought that Cincinnati wasn't evenly matched with them. But Cincy won. |
5 | Purdue | |
6 | Maryland | Their best win of the season is still against Georgetown by 4. They must beat UNC on Tuesday to stay in my top 15. A win? Top 3. |
7 | Xavier | Xavier played 4 games this week and beat USC, AL, and a dangerous Dayton team. Probably won't stay this high, but they earned it this week. |
8 | Iowa State | Solid play in double digit wins this week. |
9 | Oklahoma | Haven't really played anyone, but that changes soon. Wisconsin Sunday, then Villanova looming on Dec 7th. |
10 | West Virginia | Unbeaten. |
11 | Kansas | They looked very good this week. |
12 | Duke | Look to be rebounding from their loss. However, only an 8 point win against VCU, and 2 point win against Georgetown. |
13 | Syracuse | We will know more about this team this week when they play Wisconsin and AT Georgetown. |
14 | Louisville | |
15 | South Carolina | |
16 | North Carolina | Good win against Kansas State this week. If they beat Maryland on Tuesday, they will most likely be in my top 10. |
17 | GW | George Washington is a good team. They beat Virginia, and were very evenly matched with Cincinnati. GW is going to be ranked all season. |
18 | Providence | Played tough against MSU. |
19 | UTEP | CSU is a solid team. UTEP just beat them by 9, and is currently undefeated. |
20 | Arizona | Almost lost against 0-5 Santa Clara. Then lost against an unranked Providence team. Won't be ranked on my poll if they lose @ Gonz Dec 5th |
21 | Oregon | They haven't beaten a currently ranked team. The only two decent wins were by 6 and 7 points. |
22 | Vanderbilt | Can't lose to KU if they want to be elite. |
23 | Virginia | They have zero decent wins this season, and we will know nothing about them until Dec 8th against West Virginia. |
24 | Pitt | |
25 | Texas A&M | Good win against Gonzaga, but they have to follow that up with a victory against Syracuse. This spot was a tossup between Dayton & TX A&M. |
