Submitted on Monday, February 7, 2022 at 12:50AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Auburn
|
Clear #1. Best Record in College Basketball, Great Resume, 19 Game Winning Streak. |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga is on a 12 game winning streak, averaging 99.3 PPG in Conference, dominating in the WCC as usual |
| 3 |
Houston
|
Houston deserves more respect, they have a good resume and their 2 losses come to good teams by a combined 3 points. |
| 4 |
Arizona
|
Arizona is 19-2, with some good non conference wins and just picked up the best 2 wins possible in the Pac 12 over UCLA & USC. |
| 5 |
Kentucky
|
Kentucky is 19-4 and very dominate as of late. They really proved themselves recently with big wins over Kansas, Alabama and Tennessee. |
| 6 |
Purdue
|
Purdue has some big wins and the eye test suggests they are great. Losses to Rutgers and IU have lowered them in my previous ballots though. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
Duke is 19-3, on a 5 game win streak & has some big wins over Gonzaga & UK. 3 unranked losses keep them out of my top 5 for now though. |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
I had Kansas at #11 after their blowout loss to UK, they bounced back huge with a blowout win over Baylor and win over ISU this past week. |
| 9 |
Providence
|
Providence is highly underrated. 20-2, 13-0 at home, #1 in Big East with wins over Texas Tech, Wisconsin, Xavier, Marquette, & UConn. |
| 10 |
Baylor
|
I still think Baylor is a top 10 team, they are 19-4 and have some great wins. Their recent struggles have them trending down for me though. |
| 11 |
UCLA
|
I previously had UCLA at #4. Back to back losses drops them to #11. They are still a solid team with good wins over Arizona and Villanova. |
| 12 |
Texas Tech
|
Texas Tech is 18-5 with a tough schedule and have picked up great wins over Baylor, Kansas, Tennessee, Texas, etc. |
| 13 |
Illinois
|
Illinois is starting to look like the team they were expected to be. They are 17-5, #1 in the Big Ten & have beat MSU & Wisconsin recently. |
| 14 |
Wisconsin
|
Wisconsin is 18-4 and has some nice wins including Purdue & Houston. A road loss to Illinois doesn't hurt them much. |
| 15 |
Michigan State
|
MSU at 17-5 is a good team, with a good resume but the blowout loss to Rutgers was not pretty and it clearly keeps them out of the top 10. |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
Ohio State has been a bit inconsistent and have had some cancelation problems. They have great wins over Duke and Wisconsin though. |
| 17 |
Villanova
|
Villanova has definitely played a hard schedule and has some good wins. 6 losses and a couple bad performances keep them out of my top 15. |
| 18 |
USC
|
USC has a good record of 19-4 to keep them in the top 20 for me. 3 of their 4 losses come against unranked opponents though. |
| 19 |
Saint Mary's
|
Saint Mary's is 19-4, on a 7 game winning streak and has a few decent non conference wins including Oregon, Notre Dame. |
| 20 |
Texas
|
Texas has picked up some good wins of late over Iowa State, & Tennessee. A road loss to Texas Tech doesn't hurt them much. |
| 21 |
Tennessee
|
Tennessee sits at 16-6 in a tough SEC. They have a huge win over Arizona to really boost their resume. |
| 22 |
UConn
|
Uconn drops 7 spots after losing back to back games. They have arguably the best win of anyone this season over now #1 Auburn. |
| 23 |
Marquette
|
I'm not as high as some people are on Marquette due to the fact they have 7 losses but they have picked up a lot of great wins this season. |
| 24 |
San Francisco
|
USF doesn't have the best of resumes but they are 19-5, 3rd in the WCC and have decent wins over BYU, Davidson & ASU. |
| 25 |
Arkansas
|
Arkansas is finally getting back to their winning ways as they are now 18-5 with a 8 game winning streak. |
