Really like the way this team has played over the last month with the only loss against a team they don't match up well with (UVA) |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
They really impressed me with how they demolished UVA |
| 7 |
Oregon
|
|
| 8 |
UCLA
|
Great offense and quality win this week, but still not as sold on them as an elite team as some people seem to be |
| 9 |
Duke
|
One of the hottest teams in the country and not a team I would want to play going forward |
| 10 |
Florida
|
Worried about the Egbunu injury, but still on a nice winning streak and have some depth to hopefully overcome. Big week ahead |
| 11 |
Kentucky
|
Playing well of late. Excited to see them match up with the Gators this week |
| 12 |
Baylor
|
Two loss week has me questioning how elite Baylor is; although hard to fault a two point loss at KU |
| 13 |
Purdue
|
Sorry Purdue, I like you too much right now to put you at 15 |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
Elite talent but play down to their competition too much which could make a deep tourney run challenging |
| 15 |
Wisconsin
|
Interesting week losing to Mich while also knocking off Wisconsin to stay on top of the BIG standings |
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
|
| 17 |
SMU
|

Virginia

Two loss week; yet it was against two elite teams, so still hard to judge |
| 19 |
Florida State
|
Can they buy a road win? |
| 20 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 21 |
Maryland
|
Strong win on the road against NU. Hard to fault them for losing in Madison |
| 22 |

Just destroying teams of late. |
