RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (=) No real reason for this not to be unanimous.
2 University of Arizona Logo Arizona (=) Is their remaining schedule worse than the Zags'? Probably.
3 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (+1) Has "Kentucky wins but TyTy Washington suffers injury" has been the headline once a month all year?
4 Auburn University Logo Auburn (-1) I didn't drop them for the loss, I dropped them because they're a terrible road team.
5 Villanova University Logo Villanova (+7) This isn't a resume ranking, don't care about this being too big of a jump.
6 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (-1) Quickly catching up to Tennessee as the least interesting ranked team.
7 Duke University Logo Duke (-1) Closed the week with 2 comfortable wins, but just looked disinterested against a bad Virginia team.
8 Baylor University Logo Baylor (+8) Weird team!
9 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois (-1) Underwood takes home the worst coaching performance of the week award for that 2nd half against Northwestern.
10 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin (+1) One bad game, one good game. Let's say they cancel out.
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue (-2) Feel right about having been low on them last week. Inconsistent effort and something is off with Trevion Williams.
12 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech (-2) Played by far the worst game any ranked team played this week. The box score for the OU game is bad, the game was much worse.
13 University of Houston Logo Houston (-6) Easily the worst week for any ranked team.
14 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas NEW. They've played like a borderline top 10 team for 10 games now.
15 Providence College Logo Providence (=) Exactly one possession better than every bad-to-solid team in the country. Fails the eye test spectacularly.
16 Marquette University Logo Marquette (-3) The loss to UConn was fine. The loss to Butler wasn't.
17 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas (+3) Let go of the hate everyone, they're good.
18 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA (-4) Jaquez has to be hurt right?
19 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (=) Some mid-major guard is going to drop 35 on this team in March.
20 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State (-2) I take back what I said about Kansas and Tennessee, THIS is the least interesting ranked team. By a lot.
21 University of Wyoming Logo Wyoming (=) MWC tourney is going to be a bloodbath.
22 University of Connecticut Logo UConn NEW.
23 Xavier University Logo Xavier NEW.
24 University of Southern California Logo USC NEW. Mobley was holding this team back!
25 University of Memphis Logo Memphis NEW. Extend Penny.
