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