Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | They won their toughest game this year. |
2 | Baylor | |
3 | Kansas | |
4 | Gonzaga | |
5 | Oregon | They're fucking back, baby. Definitely playing like a top 5 team right now. |
6 | UCLA | They lost to Oregon, but Oregon is looking magnificent these past few games |
7 | West Virginia | |
8 | Wisconsin | Everyone above them lost to other teams, both losses were early in the year. |
9 | Duke | They need Grayson Allen to not be suspended, and it shows. |
10 | Virginia | Docked them spots because they're being a PITA to rank this year |
11 | Louisville | |
12 | Kentucky | Stop disappointing me, you're better than this. |
13 | Arizona | |
14 | Xavier | |
15 | Florida State | |
16 | North Carolina | This feels painful ranking them this low, but they deserve it. |
17 | Saint Mary's | |
18 | Purdue | |
19 | Butler | |
20 | Creighton | They lost their only chance this season they've had in my book to skyrocket to top 10. Win out except Villanova and they're top 15 again. |
21 | Virginia Tech | Their win was out of left field. Let's see if they can keep up with it. |
22 | Cincinnati | |
23 | USC | They lost, but it was to Oregon. Not too terrible. |
24 | Clemson | |
25 | Michigan State |
