Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Iowa | The Hawkeyes are destroying a very tough schedule. Their schedule has been light years tougher than UNC. |
2 | Oklahoma | Generally speaking, I won't drop teams much for losing road games. Especially to good opponents. OK lost @ISU, which is a quality loss. |
3 | North Carolina | Only a 5 point win vs. unranked Virginia Tech. Haven't played a currently ranked team since Dec 2nd!! |
4 | Texas A&M | |
5 | Saint Mary's | Everyone else lost. Huge win against Gonzaga this week. |
6 | Indiana | |
7 | Kansas | They lost to OK State. They probably deserve a bigger drop than this, but it was on the road. |
8 | SMU | Road loss. |
9 | Louisville | |
10 | Iowa State | beat #1 at home. Also won on the road. Monday @ home against Kansas could make or break their season. |
11 | Providence | They beat two ranked teams this week, but they were Butler and Villanova. Butler isn't going to be ranked, and Vill lost to OK by 30. |
12 | Arizona | Road loss by 1 actually moves them up in my poll due to what happened with other teams. |
13 | Villanova | Don't lose at home. |
14 | Virginia | |
15 | Miami (FL) | |
16 | West Virginia | Don't lose at home to unranked teams. |
17 | South Carolina | Lost on the road. |
18 | Xavier | Don't lose at home to unranked teams. |
19 | Baylor | Lost at home. |
20 | Michigan State | Lost @ home to an unranked team. Lost last 3 of 4. |
21 | Maryland | Lost on the road. This is probably still too high for Maryland. They have beaten ZERO ranked teams this year. |
22 | Oregon | |
23 | Wichita State | |
24 | Purdue | Lost on the road to Iowa. |
25 | Grand Canyon | Creighton, Duke, Arkansas Little Rock, or even lowly Kentucky could possibly be here also. |
