Submitted on Sunday, January 10, 2016 at 10:54PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Oklahoma
|
May get hate for this, but a 3OT game @KU? I'll take OU on a neutral court. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
AFH is the best homecourt advantage in the country |
| 3 |
Maryland
|
Probably should've beat Wisconsin by more |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
2 big wins over mediocre teams w/o Valentine |
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
Brice Johnson's game last Monday was overshadowed by Hield. |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
Big East is strong, starting to beat each other up. Potential 6-bid league? |
| 7 |
SMU
|
So many what ifs for this team. And now Frazier is gone. |
| 8 |
Xavier
|
Which conference has the best "3rd best" team? Big12 (WVU (or Baylor or ISU?)), B10 (Iowa?), ACC, Big East? |
| 9 |
Miami (FL)
|
Schedule starts to heat up soon, see what they're really made of |
| 10 |
Duke
|
In a normal year, I'm not sure this Duke team looks very good. But chaos knocked down a bunch of teams. |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
Press Virginia seemed to struggle in the first half against TCU. Big Monday tomorrow, should be a good one. |
| 12 |
Iowa
|
Keep climbing. @MSU this week. With Valentine expected back, should be a good one. |
| 13 |
Providence
|
Tough loss to Marquette. |
| 14 |
Texas A&M
|
This feels like too big of a jump, but I'm not sure if anybody else should have this spot |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
Back to back losses in LA |
| 16 |
Virginia
|
2 close losses on the road in the ACC. But to GT and VT? Not good. |
| 17 |
Kentucky
|
Loss against LSU where Simmons was plagued with foul trouble made us think maybe LSU had it together, then they lost to Florida. |
| 18 |
Pitt
|
Seem to have a decent ACC schedule - Duke and VA only at home, could produce a higher result than maybe this team actually is. But they win. |
| 19 |
Baylor
|
Big win @ Hilton. Road wins are tough to come by in the Big 12 |
| 20 |
Iowa State
|
Not a good loss to have. Baylor is good, but for a team with conference title aspirations, a deep tourney run in mind- have to win @home. |
| 21 |
South Carolina
|
They beat Vandy, who is falling apart a bit now. Still not sure they have any quality wins. |
| 22 |
Purdue
|
Illinois? |
| 23 |
USC
|
Sitting near the top of the Pac, nicely done. |
| 24 |
Indiana
|
I can't wait to see how this team's turnaround will be inevitably disappointing |
| 25 |
Louisville
|
Honorable mentions: Houston, Butler, Gonzaga, Valpo, Boise State |
