Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Have consistently looked like a top team with more impressive wins than KU |
2 | Kansas | |
3 | UCLA | |
4 | Gonzaga | A real threat to finish undefeated in the regular season. Impressive win over SM |
5 | Baylor | Not a good showing against WVU, but still a very solid resume |
6 | Kentucky | |
7 | West Virginia | What a dominating win at home over BU even though they tried to ruin the week with a close win over UT |
8 | Creighton | Solid win at home. Need to knock off Nova to move much higher |
9 | Florida State | 1/2 against Duke/UNC is a solid week |
10 | North Carolina | A nice string of wins after the disappointment against GT |
11 | Oregon | Quietly building a very strong resume at full strength |
12 | Butler | That loss at ISU way back is the only real drawback from me having BU in my top 10 |
13 | Louisville | |
14 | Wisconsin | I still think Wisky is the top BIG squad, but have some work to do |
15 | Arizona | |
16 | Duke | Two losses against two good teams this week. So much talent but so hard to justify ranking them much higher |
17 | Notre Dame | Two quality wins this week |
18 | Virginia | |
19 | Florida | They just keep winning. Excited to see how they far as the SEC gets slightly tougher. |
20 | Cincinnati | |
21 | Purdue | |
22 | Xavier | I keep wanting to call them a good team but they are blowing chances at quality wins left and right |
23 | TCU | Quietly keep winning. Exciting turnaround from last year |
24 | Maryland | |
25 | UNC Wilmington | No one seems to want to be ranked, so might as well give the last spot to a team who keeps winning |
