Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Oklahoma | |
2 | Kansas | |
3 | Virginia | Next three are a toss up. String of good wins (Vill, WV, Cal). Looks better than a Valentine-less Michigan St. |
4 | Michigan State | Win over Kansas earlier in the season and Iowa's win over Purdue, keeps them from dropping to 5. |
5 | Maryland | Good loss, but no wins good enough to rank them ahead of UVA or Michigan St. |
6 | Providence | |
7 | North Carolina | |
8 | Arizona | |
9 | Iowa State | |
10 | Miami (FL) | |
11 | Xavier | |
12 | Kentucky | |
13 | Villanova | |
14 | Duke | |
15 | Butler | |
16 | Purdue | |
17 | SMU | |
18 | West Virginia | |
19 | Texas A&M | |
20 | South Carolina | |
21 | Louisville | |
22 | Pitt | |
23 | Iowa | |
24 | Gonzaga | |
25 | California |
