RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke This team still scares me. Last week's poll: http://cbbpoll.com/ballot/4032
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova Had a close call against Notre Dame. Close enough for me to swap them with Duke, who looks pretty amazing right now.
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Nothing changed
4 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Nothing really changed from last week.
5 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky A win over UNC at a neutral court is good enough to jump Baylor at this point.
6 Baylor University Logo Baylor They didn't do much this week, but Kentucky had a big win. As teams start losing, if they keep winning I'll put them higher
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Bot teams that I had in 7&8 lost. They beat Tennessee by 10 but need to learn how I close out games.
8 University of Louisville Logo Louisville This isn't so much their performance as much as it is the failure of the teams ahead of them
9 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Teams above them just don't look as good.
10 University of Virginia Logo Virginia They'll tag along behind West Virginia until one of them loses probably.
11 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina They sort of redeemed their near-loss to Tennessee with a close fight against Kentucky. Still lose a spots for a loss. Could be worse.
12 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Slowly creeping up my rankings. The team nobody seems to be talking about really.
13 Purdue University Logo Purdue Quality win over Notre Dame, who I might have underrated a bit. Continue on the path to the top 10.
14 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Close win over a really good Texas A&M team.
15 Xavier University Logo Xavier Quality win over Wake Forest this week helps them bounce back from last week a bit.
16 Butler University Logo Butler If they hadn't lost to Indiana State I'd have them a bit higher than this. But they did beat Indiana.
17 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Stop beating teams high ranked and losing to low-ranked teams. Bad Hoosiers, bad.
18 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's They did some stat-padding against some pretty bad teams at home this week.
19 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Placeholder until the UNLV game is over.
20 Creighton University Logo Creighton Who the fuck is Oral Roberts and how the fuck did you almost lose to them at home?
21 Florida State University Logo Florida State You didn't lose to Manhattan at a neutral court. Congrats, I guess? (NOTE: this ranking does not include Monday's game).
22 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Two losses in a row hurts, but it hurts more how close they were until the end for both
23 University of Southern California Logo USC Bit scary against Troy for a while.
24 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati I've been underrating them for a while now. They deserve a ranking.
25 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M The "Fuck it" ranking: Dropped from Rankings: South Carolina, Wichita State, Auburn
