Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | They just keep winning. And decisively. |
2 | Wisconsin | 4 wins by 24+ point did not lead me to want to drop Wisconsin. |
3 | Duke | 2 100+ point games and wins over MSU and Stanford brought the blue devils up to #3 |
4 | North Carolina | |
5 | Arizona | |
6 | Virginia | |
7 | Kansas | I can't really penalize them for losing to Kentucky, but until they show us what they can do, I'll leave them at 7th |
8 | Louisville | |
9 | Texas | |
10 | Gonzaga | 2 100 point wins and a win over #22 SMU led me to move Gonzaga up to 10 |
11 | Wichita State | |
12 | Villanova | |
13 | San Diego State | |
14 | VCU | |
15 | Iowa State | |
16 | Michigan State | Although they lost to Duke, one would expect #17 to lose to #4, and it was close |
17 | Ohio State | |
18 | Stanford | Again, just like MSU, I'm not going to penalize for a loss to Duke |
19 | West Virginia | With the upset of Uconn to win the Puerto Rico Tip Off, WVU moves up |
20 | UConn | As they lost to WVU, I think it fits that they are ranked lower than WVU, especially at this point in the season. |
21 | Miami (FL) | Moved up with a win against Florida and by winning the Charleston Classic |
22 | Creighton | Moved up after win over #19 Oklahoma |
23 | Indiana | Moved up after win over #23 SMU |
24 | UCLA | |
25 | California | Moved up after win over #24 Syracuse. No penalty for losing to #11 Texas (as that would be expected of a 25 vs 11) |
