Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
2 | Duke | LW: 2 |
3 | Arizona | LW: 3 |
4 | Virginia | LW: 4. Part of my thought about moving Louisville above them, but their dismantling of a good Harvard squad redeemed them |
5 | Louisville | LW: 5. Big game against in-state rival Kentucky this week, will it shake up the rankings? |
6 | Wisconsin | LW: 6. Big game tomorrow night against Cal, if they win and Louisville loses to UK, they will almost certainly crack the top 5 again |
7 | Villanova | LW: 8, +1. A win over Syracuse will vault you over a team playing cupcakes. Tough matchup against NJIT this week though... |
8 | Kansas | LW: 7, -1. They're good, but I'll give a nod to an undefeated team for now |
9 | Wichita State | LW: 9 |
10 | Texas | LW: 10 |
11 | Gonzaga | LW: 11. None of the teams at 9-11 had great wins, but nobody did anything to jump them |
12 | Iowa State | LW: 12 |
13 | West Virginia | LW: 14, +1. |
14 | Utah | LW: 16, +2. A real surprise team this year, if you ask me, but they keep winning |
15 | Washington | LW: 24, +9. I wasn't sold on them early on, but undefeated is undefeated |
16 | Oklahoma | LW: 13, -3. Losing to a good team won't kill your ranking in my book |
17 | Ohio State | LW: N/A, +9. I accidentally missed them last week. Oops... |
18 | Maryland | LW: 21, +3. Nice win against Ok State, the B1G newcomers keep rolling |
19 | San Diego State | LW: 15, -4. Losing to borderline Cinci will make you tumble |
20 | North Carolina | LW: 22, +2. Big bounce back win over Ohio State after a rough start |
21 | St. John's | LW: 20, -1. |
22 | Syracuse | LW: 18, -4. Nova is a good team, but the Cuse is racking up losses |
23 | Creighton | LW: 17, -6. No offense to North Texas, but Creighton has no business losing to the Mean Green |
24 | VCU | LW: 24. Nice win over a solid Cinci team, won't get them to move up however |
25 | Oregon | LW: N/A, +1. I hate their jerseys, like what they've done so far |
