Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | North Carolina | |
2 | Oklahoma | Big 12 title race will be most exciting to watch play out. Oklahoma definitely the favorite right now. KU still there, and Baylor, WVU, ISU |
3 | Maryland | A lot of people seem to be low on them, but 3 losses are @UNC, @MSU, @Mich. No bad losses, win games they should (albeit not always pretty) |
4 | Villanova | Big East is another exciting title race. Nova dominated Xavier @home early on |
5 | Xavier | |
6 | Iowa | |
7 | Texas A&M | arkansas is tough place to play. Good win over ISU |
8 | SMU | |
9 | Michigan State | |
10 | Providence | Bentil and Dunn may be best combo out there, but they can't do it all by themselves. |
11 | Iowa State | Not quite sure the deal with McKay's knee, but fans should stop complaining about him. He's rebounding very well |
12 | Kansas | To the KU fans that say their team is soft- maybe the UK game will quiet you? |
13 | Oregon | Didn't expect them to be playing this well without Ennis. Fairly balanced scoring. Well coached. |
14 | Baylor | |
15 | Virginia | I ranked Pitt last week and said the following: |
16 | Louisville | "About to play @Clemson, which apparently is not possible to win if you're ranked. Sorry, Pitt." |
17 | West Virginia | And I found it humorous, but the best part is, Clemson is looking pretty good. |
18 | Purdue | I haven't ranked them, but they are quite the interesting team to look at. Playing very well at home right now. |
19 | Indiana | A couple bad losses early in the season. Have some easier road games upcoming to maybe give them a boost. |
20 | Kentucky | I'm definitely intrigued. Will be interesting to see where they end up. |
21 | Arizona | |
22 | Wichita State | looking real good with FVV |
23 | Miami (FL) | |
24 | Saint Mary's | |
25 | San Diego State | Honorable Mentions: Duke, Valpo, Michigan, VCU, Florida |
