Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | #1 resume in country. #1 in SOR and WAB. Most Q1 wins, arguably best Q1 record. |
2 | Arizona | I rank mostly by resume, as if for tourney. Good records v good schedules means a lot. Eye test and efficiency metrics taken into account |
3 | Auburn | Zona, Auburn, and KU had far and away the best 3 resumes. L thus doesn't drop Auburn below Purdue |
4 | Purdue | |
5 | Baylor | |
6 | Kentucky | |
7 | Gonzaga | I'd pick them to win v most on neutral court, but their resume simply isn't keeping up with rest of top teams. Only 12 in SOR and WAB. |
8 | Texas Tech | |
9 | Duke | |
10 | Villanova | |
11 | Wisconsin | |
12 | Houston | |
13 | Tennessee | |
14 | UCLA | |
15 | Illinois | |
16 | Providence | Great resume but some suspect play against bad teams at time is dragging them down |
17 | Texas | |
18 | USC | |
19 | Arkansas | |
20 | Ohio State | |
21 | Alabama | |
22 | UConn | |
23 | Michigan State | |
24 | Saint Mary's | |
25 | LSU | I don't weigh recent games extra heavily. Their resume is still good! #23 in SOR, #29 in WAB |
