Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | (+1) I really want to put Arizona here because I am super biased. Congrats on the #1 overall in the tourney. |
2 | Arizona | (+2) Keep on winning. Once we stop giving teams a 14 point handicap at the beginning of a game everyone is screwed. |
3 | Kentucky | (-) I had Kentucky above Arizona last week to try to be unbiased but honestly they have pretty bad losses. Missing TyTy hurts them. |
4 | Auburn | (-3) #1 falls from grace. Still one of the top teams in the country. |
5 | Duke | (+2) Gained some spots due to others losing |
6 | Kansas | (-1) They lost but so did everyone else |
7 | Baylor | (+4) Seemed to have regained form |
8 | Purdue | (-2) Lost to Michigan (my team would never), Illinois win keeps them from a big drop |
9 | Providence | (+2) These guys are legit |
10 | UCLA | (-1) Ranked loss so not a big drop |
11 | Tennessee | (+4) Keep on winning |
12 | Texas Tech | (-2) Lost so they drop |
13 | Houston | (-5) Two losses in a weak conference |
14 | Villanova | (+3) Others lost. They didn't. Up they go. |
15 | Wisconsin | (-1) Big win followed by a Rutgers loss |
16 | Wyoming | (+3) It will be a crime if they aren't ranked this week |
17 | Illinois | (-4) Watching Illinois week to week is frustrating as someone who's team needs them to do well. |
18 | Ohio State | (-2) Lost to Rutgers lol |
19 | Michigan State | (-1) Ranked loss. Not bad. |
20 | Murray State | (+1) Racing to the top of their conference. |
21 | USC | (+4) HUGE win for them this week. Pacific is nothing to scoff at. |
22 | Saint Mary's | (-) Lost to the best team in the country while holding them to one of their lowest point totals. No shame in that. |
23 | Alabama | (NR) They've had some big wins earlier in the season which is why I brought them in over other teams. |
24 | Xavier | (NR) Swapped with UConn |
25 | Marquette | (-5) Really rough week for them. (Teams dropped out: UConn (23), Loyola Chicago (24)) |
