Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | The dismantling of Kansas shows the great talent they have |
2 | Wisconsin | Would be #1 in alot of years. A big fan of the Badgers but still #2 in my eyes |
3 | Duke | Looked impressive against Stanford and Michigan State. The young squad is coming together nicely |
4 | Arizona | Still talented and played nobody but have made it tougher than it needs to be so drops a slot. |
5 | Virginia | Defense is looking as good as ever just cruising along |
6 | Wichita State | Cruised against Memphis and is looking very good. |
7 | Louisville | Big W against Minnesota. Looking very good and rating very well too. |
8 | Texas | Isaiah Taylor loss will hurt but have looked impressive so far. |
9 | North Carolina | Solid but unspectacular so far. Ill judge them better once they play tough competition. |
10 | Gonzaga | Looked very against SMU and St Joes. Has look of very good Zags team |
11 | Villanova | They fall far even with no losses because they looked less than impressive in their W's but still have the talent to do well |
12 | Kansas | Very unimpressive in their loss to Kentucky. We will see if its their talent or Kentucky is that good. |
13 | VCU | A Neutral site W over a down Tennessee is still good. Pumped for VCU Nova this week. |
14 | Iowa State | Ho Hum so far Alabama might give them a test though |
15 | Florida | Lack of depth is going to hurt Florida this year as we've seen. They need to get healthy or they might be gone from the poll next time. |
16 | Michigan State | Impressed in the Duke Loss. Could be another Sparty Sweet 16 reload |
17 | San Diego State | W over Utah and no true struggles puts them here. They might be for real. |
18 | Ohio State | While it is still a down Marquette team beating them is still impressive |
19 | Miami (FL) | Big W at Florida puts them into the rankings here |
20 | Michigan | Nothing impressing me so far but haven't hurt themselves yet |
21 | UCLA | Done well with a limited schedule |
22 | Syracuse | Rebounded well after the loss to California with a big neutral site W over Iowa to keep them in the rankings |
23 | Stanford | Held tough against Duke still looking good. |
24 | Providence | Big Wins against Notre Dame and gritty Florida State place the underrated Friars in my poll |
25 | Oklahoma | Winning in Omaha is very hard. Oklahoma is still a strong team |
