Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | Utterly destroyed a quality St. Mary's team at home. |
2 | Kansas | Beat two mediocre teams this week, but almost lost to OKst at home. They were behind the majority of the game and won by 7. |
3 | UCLA | If they would have beat Utah by more than 1, they may have jumped Kansas this week, but alas, here we are. |
4 | West Virginia | This is another team that may have jumped someone if they hadn't almost lost to Texas. |
5 | Kentucky | Fine week. Beat Vandy by 6. |
6 | Baylor | Looked horrible @WestViriginia, but most teams do. Really good win on the road to a very good Kansas State team. |
7 | Villanova | |
8 | Creighton | Big win against Butler, but it will take a lot for them to jump Villanova for the same reasons as UK not jumping UCLA any time soon. |
9 | Oregon | |
10 | North Carolina | Solid win against Florida State, but only beat Wake by 6. |
11 | Florida State | They lost badly against UNC, but it was on the road, which tends to hurt you much less. |
12 | Butler | Beat X, but lost on the road to Creighton. Road losses hurt less. |
13 | Arizona | |
14 | Virginia | Barely beat Clemson this week, but it was on the road. |
15 | Louisville | Good week. |
16 | Wisconsin | |
17 | Cincinnati | |
18 | Notre Dame | |
19 | Florida | |
20 | Saint Mary's | We gained a lot of new information this week and it wasn't good. |
21 | South Carolina | |
22 | TCU | Beat a good ISU team at home, and squeaked by a scrappy decent Texas team on the road. (A team that only lost to WVU by 2 this week) |
23 | Maryland | |
24 | Duke | Incredibly overrated by the AP. This team shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10. Lost two this week. |
25 | Xavier | Lost both road games this week. Both were quality opponents, but losing both is tough. |
