Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | +/- from user ballot last week |
2 | Arizona | |
3 | Auburn | Let's not freak out over a 1 point road loss |
4 | Kentucky | Even with a road loss at Tennessee, I still feel like they are a better team than Kansas |
5 | Kansas | +1 Big road game @BU Saturday. Perhaps could jump to 4, especially if UK loses this week. |
6 | Purdue | -1 Just been unimpressive lately. Defense is disgraceful. |
7 | Texas Tech | +1 win vs Baylor cements TTU in the top 10. Soft schedule coming up to close the season, and could end up top 5/6 before season ends. |
8 | Duke | -1 Going down because TTU gotta move up. |
9 | Baylor | Not going to penalize a team for a road loss against a top 10 team. |
10 | Villanova | +2 Nova getting hotter and hotter since the turn of the calendar |
11 | Providence | -1 The luck of the Friars seemed to be dead after Nova, but it's back stronger than ever against Butler. Winning > Losing/ |
12 | Houston | +1 I really don't know what to think of Houston... |
13 | UCLA | +1 Have a chance to crack top 10 if they win out (which is very possible given their schedule) |
14 | Illinois | -3 Feel like I overshot Illinois last week and needed to pull back the reigns just a little |
15 | Wisconsin | +1 -5 health from slap to the head but +1 in the rankings |
16 | Tennessee | -1 With such an ugly letdown loss something just felt like I had to drop them a spot. .705 PPP... just gross. |
17 | Murray State | +2 First test in a long time this week vs Belmont. Probably more like a quiz, but still. |
18 | UConn | +2 UConn needs to be ranked. They have lost 1 game (vs Creighton) since Jan 1 that you can say "they should have won that." |
19 | Ohio State | -2 Home loss vs Iowa will hopefully be a wake-up call for this team |
20 | USC | +2 Get through this next week and the first week of March is where we'll learn who this team truly is. |
21 | Saint Mary's | +2 2 good conference wins this week! Saturday vs Gonzaga will hopefully be closer than the game in Spokane. |
22 | Arkansas | +3 The Muss Bus is rolling and it's time to hop on |
23 | Alabama | new Bama is a top 10 team when they make shots and could lose to anyone when they don't. Hence, ranked 23. |
24 | Wyoming | Don't overreact to one road loss. A win @CSU this week could be huge. |
25 | San Diego State | new The dutchman has this Aztec defense going! Get your eyes on them @ my #26 team Boise St. on Tuesday! |
