Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Baylor | Best resume in the country bar none. |
2 | Villanova | Still undefeated, but resume isn't as good as Baylor's and I don't buy into the "defending champs" in college sports. |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | Kentucky | |
5 | Indiana | These massive wins are putting the Fort Wayne loss in the shade. |
6 | UCLA | |
7 | North Carolina | |
8 | Duke | |
9 | Gonzaga | |
10 | Creighton | |
11 | Xavier | |
12 | Louisville | |
13 | Virginia | |
14 | Saint Mary's | |
15 | Butler | |
16 | Purdue | |
17 | South Carolina | |
18 | Wisconsin | |
19 | West Virginia | Big win over Virginia vaults them into the top 20. |
20 | Cincinnati | Big win over Iowa State. |
21 | USC | |
22 | Florida | |
23 | Oregon | QUALITY LOSS. Baylor loss looks better and better as time goes on. |
24 | Notre Dame | Undefeated, but test with Villanova soon will give us a measuring stick. |
25 | Iowa State | Two close losses very well could have been wins, but can't rely on that for long. Need wins or will be out of Top 25. |
