Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Still better resume than Kansas |
2 | Kansas | Challenging week for Kansas coming up |
3 | Gonzaga | Easy Week. Only chance they lose this year is at SMC |
4 | Kentucky | Kentucky returns to a #1 seed |
5 | Baylor | Had a challenge vs TCU but held on |
6 | UCLA | Only reason they aren't 7 or 8 is because both Creighton and WV lost |
7 | Florida State | Man this team is insane |
8 | North Carolina | Only reason FSU hopes UNC even though UNC beat them is because of FSU's amazing SOS |
9 | Oregon | My PAC-12 favorite |
10 | Arizona | This team is much better than I expected |
11 | Creighton | Rough Game vs Maquette and lost their best player too. They will end with a 5 seed IMO |
12 | Butler | I think Butler is insane. They were down 25-5 to DePaul but still won.... |
13 | Notre Dame | That Loss to FSU was a great game that if ND had 3 more seconds could've sent it to OT. Definitely a team to watch out for |
14 | Virginia | The ND Virginia game is going to be a great one |
15 | Wisconsin | Still favorite to win BIG 10 |
16 | West Virginia | Bad back to back losses. Need a Win vs Kansas |
17 | Louisville | Similar to ND, the Loss to FSU isn't bad but their losses are racking up.... |
18 | Duke | Can't move Duke up with Louisville in front of them |
19 | Cincinnati | Favorite to win the AAC. Big game to prove themselves vs Xavier |
20 | Purdue | Pretty easy week for the Boilmakers |
21 | Saint Mary's | Moving up with losses from Xavier and Florida |
22 | Maryland | Had a challenge vs Iowa but held on strong. Congrats Maryland ranked 2 weeks in a row |
23 | Kansas State | Big win vs WVU obviously deserves a spot back on the list. [Next Five is on Xavier due to me using all the space on 25] |
24 | Xavier | Needs to prove themselves vs Cincinnati this week. They just can't beat ranked teams. NEXT 5: South Carolina, SMU, USC, TCU, Northwestern |
25 | UNC Wilmington | I can't put South Carolina in despite that they were at Kentucky. They played horribly. But UNC-Wilm had a huge win vs a top Team in the CAA |
