Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Teams 1-4 are interchangeable. Blowouts galore, beating overmatched teams |
2 | North Carolina | Best win of the top-4, beating Wisconsin |
3 | Villanova | |
4 | Virginia | Austin Nichols leads the team in average, at 11 ppg (1 game played). Our average margin of victory is 31.5. Yay depth! |
5 | Kansas | Head-to-head over Duke is still very relevant this early in the season, though Indiana loss slightly worse now |
6 | Duke | |
7 | Baylor | Wins over Oregon, Louisville, and MSU. Best compilation of wins so far |
8 | Xavier | Close wins, but still winning, and getting healthier. Baylor vs. Xavier this weekend is gonna be awesome |
9 | Creighton | |
10 | Gonzaga | Solid win over a Florida team that's in my group of 25-30 |
11 | Saint Mary's | |
12 | Louisville | |
13 | Indiana | Loss versus IPFW hurts, but could easily be a bump in the road |
14 | Butler | |
15 | UCLA | Lonzo Ball has been exceptional so far, nice to see the team not get ruined by coaching |
16 | Purdue | |
17 | Arizona | |
18 | South Carolina | Beat Michigan (in my group of next 5 with Miami, URI, MSU, and Florida) and Cuse back-to-back |
19 | Wisconsin | |
20 | Oregon | Getting Dillon Brooks back helps a ton, but team struggled in loss to Georgetown |
21 | Ohio State | |
22 | Maryland | I feel like Maryland fans are gonna have a heart attack and should probably just have a blowout loss for their sakes |
23 | Syracuse | Crushing loss to Pitt in basketball (lol) |
24 | West Virginia | |
25 | Iowa State |
