Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | (1) Still playing great, still only 3 losses |
2 | Kansas | (6) Great week for them. Beat WVU at home and beat OU on the road. KU should win its 12th straight Big 12 title. |
3 | Iowa | (2) Loss at Indiana doesn't look bad since everyone loses on the road. Still a great resume. |
4 | Virginia | (7) Loss at Duke by 1 isn't a bad loss, especially they way they lost. |
5 | West Virginia | (8) Losing in AFH isn't a bad loss. They have Holton back, WVU look really good. |
6 | Maryland | (3) Bad loss at home to Wisconsin. Still a good team. |
7 | North Carolina | (9) After losing 2 straight, UNC fans can anticipate this week when they get both Duke and Miami at home. Big week. |
8 | Michigan State | (11) A road loss in OT by 1 isn't bad. They then beat Indiana at home. Tough week ahead though with Wisconsin and Ohio State. |
9 | Oklahoma | (4) Close win over Texas and then a loss at home to KU. They are relying too much on outside shooting right now. @TTU @WVU this week. YIKES |
10 | Xavier | (5) 3 losses isn't bad but a loss at Creighton is, and Xavier hasn't beaten anyone great. |
11 | Miami (FL) | (13) Big game Saturday at North Carolina. |
12 | Arizona | (20) PLAY TONIGHT |
13 | Iowa State | (12) Loss on the road doesn't look terrible and then they beat Texas at home, life in the Big 12.... |
14 | Kentucky | (24) Starting to get on a roll. Big game Saturday on the road. |
15 | Duke | (UR) They just beat two top teams in the ACC at home, and congrats, you now go to Chapel Hill to take on your bitter rival. YIKES |
16 | Purdue | (15) Great win over Michigan State, and then a loss on the road. Can anyone win on the road? |
17 | Notre Dame | (UR) Good win over Louisville. Their schedule eases up here. |
18 | Indiana | (25) Good win over Iowa at home, followed by a blowout loss on the road. Life on the road.... |
19 | Dayton | (19) Still only 3 losses. Big week ahead though. |
20 | Louisville | (10) Brutal week for Louisville as they had to go on the road twice and lost both. Their schedule doesn't ease up either. |
21 | Texas | (21) 2 tough road losses this week. I can't punish them for that. Both games were close. Big week as they get WVU at home. |
22 | Oregon | (16) Another team who had a brutal week on the road. |
23 | SMU | (UR) Welcome back SMU. I still wish I could see you play someone. |
24 | Monmouth | (UR) Bad losses, but all on the road or neutral sites and has wins over ND, USC, and UCLA. |
25 | Baylor | (16) Thought about Valpo, Hawaii, Utah, UConn, Wichita State, and Saint Mary's but kept Baylor on the ballot. |
