Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Beatdown of Kansas was almost painful to watch. Defense is scary |
2 | Duke | Quality wins over MSU, Stanford |
3 | Arizona | No reason to drop them from last week, but Duke did enough to jump them. |
4 | Wisconsin | Haven't been challenged yet, but the Boise win was very good. |
5 | North Carolina | Easily handled Robert Morris |
6 | Texas | Great wins against Cal and Iowa |
7 | Wichita State | Hard to judge how good Memphis win was. |
8 | Gonzaga | Best Gonzago team ever |
9 | Virginia | Defense and stuff |
10 | Kansas | Kentucky game showed weaknesses. Time will tell... |
11 | Louisville | Rick Pitino best Pitino |
12 | Villanova | Big game coming up against VCU. After being tied with Bucknell with a minute left, they have to prove themselves. |
13 | Iowa State | Starters all averaging dub figures. Thomas and Nader returning. McKay coming in eventually. Incredible offense, solid D against GSU |
14 | VCU | Big game against Villanova coming up |
15 | San Diego State | Good win over Utah |
16 | Ohio State | |
17 | Miami (FL) | Angel Rodriguez. Odd scheduling quirk that they'll have to play Charlotte twice in a row.. |
18 | Michigan State | They played well against Duke. "Quality loss", I see no reason to move them down. |
19 | Florida | Losing to Miami wasn't awful, but following with an overtime game against ULM didn't do anything to help |
20 | West Virginia | Close games, but great win over UConn |
21 | Michigan | Beat Detroit by a smaller margin than Oregon. Next game is against Oregon. |
22 | Indiana | A week ago, I didn't expect this. Blackmon is REALLY good |
23 | Arkansas | |
24 | UConn | |
25 | Providence | Honorable mention: Utah, UCLA, Oregon |
