Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | This week has been a cluster, but duke hasn't lost yet. The Florida Victory was solid though. They have looked lazy, but it didn't matter. |
2 | Kansas | The Kentucky victory means less than the Michigan State victory |
3 | Michigan State | Kansas and Michigan State are interchangeable, the North Carolina victory really put faith back in MSU for me |
4 | Villanova | Battle 4 Atlantis Champions, look good so far. |
5 | Florida | The Gonzaga victory was solid. 5-1 with a close loss to duke, |
6 | Wichita State | A close Notre Dame loss that could've gone either way doesn't drop them much. |
7 | Kentucky | Haven't looked great, but with the only loss to Kansas, not bad. |
8 | Minnesota | Won the Barclay's Classic, Looked good in the Alabama game before the fight, ended up winning by a closer amount but won over a top 25 team. |
9 | USC | Looked good so far, not many red flags. |
10 | Cincinnati | Acting like a top 10 team should against lesser competition. |
11 | Miami (FL) | 5 wins in and look good. Will be tested next week against Minnesota. |
12 | Notre Dame | 8-12 are interchangeable. The Wichita state victory was good, but these teams are still clumped together. |
13 | North Carolina | Looked good in the PK80, loss to MSU was unsettling, but there are worst people to lose to. |
14 | Xavier | Bad loss, but has been pretty solid aside from that. |
15 | Gonzaga | A overtime loss to Florida is an acceptable loss. They've played well all season. |
16 | Texas A&M | Looked good, building on the momentum from the West Virginia win. |
17 | West Virginia | Rebounded well from their loss to A&M |
18 | Louisville | Aside from the scandal, no red flags. |
19 | Baylor | Looked very good so far, at this point preseason expectations are keeping others above them, we'll soon see |
20 | TCU | The Big 12 looks to be deep this year. |
21 | Texas | Overtime loss to duke only because Bomba was out? I'm currently sold on them. |
22 | Providence | Rebounded from the Minnesota defeat, and has been playing some good basketball. |
23 | Seton Hall | Aside from a close loss to URI, aside from that has looked good. |
24 | Northern Iowa | 2nd in the battle 4 Atlantis, looked pretty good so far, I have to give them credit where credit is due. |
25 | Arizona | 3 in a row, and most teams would be gone, I really think that the team has potential, but they are on the thinnest ice imaginable. |
