Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | I don't see much reason to move most teams this week, 1 game doesn't tell much. |
2 | Kansas | My top 3 stay the same |
3 | Michigan State | not much to say here |
4 | Villanova | |
5 | Arizona | Had UNC at 4 last week, mostly because preseason, and I probably tend to overrank the prior year's winner |
6 | North Carolina | I do think they deserve to be up here, though. |
7 | Wichita State | |
8 | Florida | might have the weakest resume so far, imo, and play in a mid major conference |
9 | Texas A&M | Big jump here. Beat WVU by 20+ without Robert Williams, I'm jumping on this hype train |
10 | Gonzaga | |
11 | Cincinnati | |
12 | Notre Dame | |
13 | USC | |
14 | Kentucky | Drop a bit this week with tight game to Vermont. But they won. and are talented. and still have Calipari. |
15 | Xavier | |
16 | Seton Hall | |
17 | Louisville | I had left them off my ballot last week after spending much consideration. The talent is there, we'll see how their season plays out |
18 | Miami (FL) | |
19 | Minnesota | Ranked Minnesota, but left off Northwestern this week for their tight game |
20 | Saint Mary's | It might not mean much as the season goes on. End of the day, wins matter |
21 | Purdue | |
22 | Baylor | |
23 | TCU | |
24 | Alabama | New to my rankings this week, after I dropped WVU (certainly could stay- A&M is a GOOD team) and Northwestern |
25 | Virginia | Honorable Mentions: Missouri, West Virginia, SMU, Northwestern |
