Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Auburn | I rank mostly by resume. Good records v good schedules means a lot. Eye test and efficiency metrics taken into account. |
2 | Baylor | Why still #2? Other top teams lost. Coming into wk, BAY was #2 by a mile for me (Zag resume is lacking despite good efficiency metrics) |
3 | Arizona | |
4 | Purdue | |
5 | UCLA | Why not higher than Zona? I don't weigh H2H more heavily than other games. Slightly worse resume |
6 | Kansas | Why higher than UK? I don't weigh H2H more heavily than other games. Also resume -- #3 in WAB, #4 in SOR. Better W/L against tougher SOS |
7 | Gonzaga | Great team, resume is just lacking since they didn't take care of business like they normally do in the beginning of the season |
8 | Wisconsin | |
9 | Kentucky | Hottest team in country, but they're only partway done with making up for their early struggles. Resume improving. 9 in SOR,13 in WAB. |
10 | Houston | |
11 | Villanova | |
12 | Duke | |
13 | Michigan State | |
14 | Providence | |
15 | LSU | I would bet against them vs most all top 25 teams right now but their resume is still superb |
16 | Texas Tech | |
17 | Tennessee | |
18 | Illinois | |
19 | Iowa State | |
20 | Xavier | |
21 | Ohio State | |
22 | Alabama | Who even knows where to rank these guys |
23 | UConn | |
24 | Texas | TEXAS IS BACK BABY |
25 | USC |
