Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | +2 |
2 | Villanova | +2 |
3 | Baylor | -2 |
4 | Kansas | -2 |
5 | Louisville | +1 |
6 | North Carolina | +1 |
7 | Wisconsin | +1 |
8 | Arizona | -3 |
9 | Florida State | +5, Such a strange resume. Two more top 50 wins in a crazy week catapults them in this ballot. |
10 | UCLA | - |
11 | Cincinnati | +4 |
12 | Oregon | +4, Two bad losses keep Oregon from climbing much after their blowout victory. |
13 | Virginia | -4 |
14 | West Virginia | -2 |
15 | South Carolina | +2, Best Resume in the SEC |
16 | Florida | NR, Perhaps a bit of an overreaction here, but made Kentucky look horrible. |
17 | Kentucky | -6 |
18 | Butler | -5, Better wins than many teams ahead of them, but those are some ugly losses. |
19 | Duke | +2 |
20 | Purdue | +5 |
21 | Maryland | -3 |
22 | Creighton | -3 |
23 | Saint Mary's | -1 |
24 | SMU | -1 |
25 | Northwestern | Dropped from ballot: Notre Dame. Really close here. I like either Northwestern, Kansas State, or maybe even Wichita State here. |
