Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oklahoma | Move up to #1 with a big win over Nova and MSU and ISU struggling in their own wins |
2 | Purdue | Purdue is also the beneficiary of MSU's and ISU's close games, moving up to #2. |
3 | Michigan State | That Florida game was too close |
4 | Iowa State | Iowa game was too close. Yes, they can come back, but they shouldn't need to there. |
5 | Maryland | Terps are playing well |
6 | Kansas | Jayhawks are playing well too other than one loss |
7 | Xavier | Big win over Cincy, and unbeaten now |
8 | Virginia | They're moving up. GWU loss looks less bad every day and they haven't lost since |
9 | Villanova | Tough loss to Oklahoma isn't enough to knock them out of Top 10 |
10 | Duke | Doing well now and may move up soon |
11 | Kentucky | That loss to UCLA is still horrible. I don't care who was hurt. They should have won that game, or at least not lost that badly. |
12 | SMU | The ponies are underrated. Unfortuantely they're postseason banned, but if they weren't they could have made a run. |
13 | Baylor | And the Bears are very good too. |
14 | Arizona | Don't let West Coast bias influence your view of Zona |
15 | West Virginia | An underrated team out of the Big 12 |
16 | North Carolina | They shouldn't have lost to Texas. Still, it was close and on the road so it doesn't drop them further than this. UNI loss still stings. |
17 | GW | Blew out Rutgers. Rutgers isn't that good but they're still a Power Confrence team. |
18 | South Carolina | Still undefeated |
19 | Butler | Win over the Vols was too close. |
20 | Northwestern | Only loss was to UNC |
21 | Providence | Bryant win was too close. |
22 | Cincinnati | Tough loss to Xavier, but Xavier's a good team |
23 | Louisville | Cardinals are powering through the scandal |
24 | Pitt | But Pitt doesn't get the attention in the ACC with everyone else. They're doing well |
25 | Little Rock | Undefeated still. Haven't beaten anyone of any note whatsoever but that has to count for something. |
