Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | |
2 | Villanova | |
3 | Virginia | |
4 | Michigan State | |
5 | Xavier | Benefits from a lot of other teams losing. |
6 | Arizona | |
7 | Oklahoma | Lost on the road to Texas Tech. Won on the road at West Virginia was huge. |
8 | Miami (FL) | |
9 | Iowa | Terrible loss at Penn State, but as always in my poll, road losses won't hurt you too much. |
10 | North Carolina | Lost at home. |
11 | Baylor | Beat ISU and @Texas this week. Huge week for Baylor. |
12 | Kentucky | |
13 | West Virginia | Road loss to Texas doesn't hurt you too badly, but you have to win at home. Two losses this week. |
14 | Louisville | |
15 | SMU | Lost on the road by 6. |
16 | Duke | Lost on the road. |
17 | Indiana | |
18 | Maryland | Terrible loss to 6-19 Minnesota, but it was on the road, so it won't hurt them as badly as it probably should. Won by 6 vs unranked Michigan |
19 | Notre Dame | Road loss by 1 won't hurt you too badly in my poll. |
20 | St. Joseph's | Lost to Davidson on the road. Probably would have jumped 6-8 spots if they hadn't lost. |
21 | Saint Mary's | Huge win on the road at Gonzaga. Hopefully they don't have to play Pepperdine anymore this year. |
22 | Oregon | |
23 | Purdue | |
24 | Utah | |
25 | Iowa State | Lost on the road in OT. |
