Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Iowa State | Had them number two last week. Number one lost. Every team ahead of them in the preseason poll has lost a game. |
2 | Michigan State | Denzel Valentine is aight |
3 | North Carolina | Hot take: Marcus Paige's return is going to help UNC. |
4 | Kansas | Yes, I'm salty about Diallo choosing KU over ISU. |
5 | Maryland | |
6 | Oklahoma | Baker Mayfield is overrated IMO. |
7 | Kentucky | |
8 | Duke | We're finally getting to the point where there's some structure to the rankings... |
9 | Villanova | it's been ridiculously fluid so far this season with all these upsets... |
10 | Virginia | luckily there wasn't much movement in this area. |
11 | Xavier | |
12 | Purdue | Lacking talent and size in the front court, but I love their guards. |
13 | Baylor | Taureen Prince. |
14 | Dayton | |
15 | Arizona | They beat Gonzaga without Zeus "Zeus" Zeuszeuski, which has to count for something. |
16 | Vanderbilt | Can't wait for Vandy-Dayton on Wednesday. |
17 | Butler | |
18 | Gonzaga | Same boat as Purdue; great guard play, no skill in the front court. |
19 | West Virginia | |
20 | Syracuse | |
21 | Miami (FL) | |
22 | UConn | |
23 | Cincinnati | |
24 | Providence | Only thing they lack is a go-to scorer. |
25 | Colorado | 7-1, only loss is to Iowa State and they just won @ Colorado State by double-digits. |
