Rank	Team	Reason
1	Gonzaga	I'm not sure I've learned anything about Gonzaga since Christmas. But they still deserve this.
2	Kansas	Had a tough time with this. KU keeps winning, but Villanova wasn't unimpressive. Decided to go with the 3 game lead in KenPom #1 Big 12.
3	Villanova	It's close with KU. Playing 2 non-tournament teams is probably the root cause of them being jumped.
4	North Carolina	Great performance against Virginia. This might be my current pick for the National Championship.
5	Louisville	Two tough wins to lower end of the ACC teams. But that's just life in the ACC - no shame in sneaking by Syracuse and Va Tech this year.
6	Baylor	Tough stretch lately. Losing 4 of 6 should knock them off the 1 line - maybe for good. Probably need a Big 12 Tournament title for a 1 seed.
7	Oregon	3 straight road games to finish conference play - but they should win them all. Oregon had a great Pac 12 draw this year.
8	Kentucky	Much better defense lately. That could really increase this team's margin for error going forward.
9	West Virginia	Came really close to having two bad collapses this week. Instead, just the one at KU. I only dropped them 1 spot as a result.
10	UCLA
11	Arizona
12	Purdue
13	Duke	I know they are winning games now, but they don't look like a great team in most of these wins. Definitely progress, though.
14	Cincinnati
15	Florida
16	Florida State
17	SMU
18	Notre Dame
19	Wisconsin
20	Wichita State
21	Iowa State	Tied for 2nd in the Big 12 now. ISU still gets Baylor at home (and @WVU) so this team could really build on their resume.
22	Virginia
23	Northwestern
24	Maryland
25	Saint Mary's
