Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Same top 3. |
2 | Kentucky | |
3 | North Carolina | |
4 | Virginia | Jumped Kansas and Duke. |
5 | Kansas | |
6 | Duke | |
7 | Baylor | Yes, Baylor. Yes, number 7. I slotted them at 11 last week and they won against Louisville. This team is good. We'll find out how good. |
8 | Gonzaga | shoot boy this team is talented. 3 great transfers. Karnowski is real solid and great at passing, AND great frosh. Most balanced Zags ever? |
9 | Xavier | It's tough to beat a team twice. Scheduling quirk allowed Xavier to beat a tough UNI twice . Fun. |
10 | Louisville | Tight loss to a surprisingly strong Baylor. |
11 | Indiana | Props for scheduling a game at IUPUI, most teams would never consider going at a lesser instate team. Rough loss. |
12 | Creighton | |
13 | South Carolina | you're goddamn right.. I had Syracuse and Michigan in the teens last week. I think it's fair to say SCar dominated them. |
14 | UCLA | Lookin good |
15 | Purdue | |
16 | Saint Mary's | |
17 | Syracuse | |
18 | Wisconsin | |
19 | Iowa State | moving up 2 spots after fight with Gonzaga. Showed that lack of height isn't that concerning. |
20 | Butler | |
21 | Arizona | it would feel silly to rank Arizona ahead of Butler after h2h loss. But I feel Arizona will have higher ceiling. |
22 | Florida | |

24 | Oregon | |
25 | Maryland | Honorable Mentions: Michigan, osu, Cincinnati, West Virginia, |
