Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Baylor | Great resume. Zero losses. |
2 | Villanova | Won @Creighton. That's a big time win. I still think Baylor's win against Louisville is better. |
3 | West Virginia | Destroyed OKST on the road. |
4 | Kansas | Only won by 6 @TCU? |
5 | Gonzaga | No losses. |
6 | UCLA | Have to win against Oregon, but they don't lose too many spots due to a road loss by only 2 points to an obviously good team. |
7 | Louisville | Losing @home is always bad. But if you can follow it up with a big time win @Indiana on the road. That's a good thing. |
8 | Kentucky | It's going to be several more wins by UK and at least a terrible loss before UCLA drops below UK. Don't lose @home UK. |
9 | Florida State | |
10 | Saint Mary's | |
11 | Virginia | VA should be proud that they followed up their Big Time win @Louisville on the road, with a loss to Florida State @home. Good job, guys. |
12 | Wisconsin | |
13 | Xavier | |
14 | Arizona | |
15 | Oregon | Two big wins this week against UCLA and USC. |
16 | Duke | Can't lose to VT if you don't want to drop, especially by double digits. The fact it was on the road prevents a huge drop. |
17 | North Carolina | Lost to Georgia Tech? Really? By 12 points? At least it was on the road. Three losses already. |
18 | USC | Normally road wins don't hurt you too badly, especially against top teams. But losing to Oregon by 23 is going to hurt. |
19 | Creighton | Lost @home by double digits. You can't do that if you want to be in the top 10. |
20 | Butler | Lost on the road which normally protects you somewhat; but it was to lowly St. Johns. |
21 | Cincinnati | |
22 | Kansas State | One loss on the year to Maryland by 1 point. |
23 | Virginia Tech | |
24 | Minnesota | Took Purdue's spot by beating them on the road. |
25 | Iowa State | Four loss Indiana comes in at #26 for me. |
