Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Biggest jump BUT best resume by far |
2 | Baylor | undefeated, returning champ |
3 | UCLA | Beat UK at Home, not easy.. the real deal |
4 | Gonzaga | multiple good wins, no losses |
5 | Kansas | |
6 | Indiana | Would be #1 had they not lost to Fort Wayne. 2 huge wins tho |
7 | Duke | will move up now that healthy but one 1 top 25 win |
8 | Kentucky | Can't be number 1 and lose at home. |
9 | North Carolina | |
10 | Creighton | Probably deserve to be higher but this is where they landed for me |
11 | Saint Mary's | Unbeaten |
12 | Butler | Unbeaten |
13 | Virginia | Will continue to fall in this poll. Austin Nichols will be missed |
14 | Xavier | Had them 11 last week, losing to baylor not bad, but losing by 15 is |
15 | Louisville | Big win over purdue. defense is dominant but offense needs fire power |
16 | Wisconsin | 2 good wins for Wisconsin |
17 | South Carolina | overrated? Maybe, but also unbeaten. only 12 teams can say that |
18 | Oregon | Hopefully starting to gel again |
19 | West Virginia | Big win over Virginia at home pushes them |
20 | Florida | |
21 | Purdue | No good losses but also zero good wins |
22 | Cincinnati | Huge road win over Iowa st |
23 | Notre Dame | Undefeated and better than expected |
24 | USC | Undefeated. No huge huge wins yet but rewards for not losing |
25 | Syracuse | better than this ranking but where they are right now |
