Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | |
2 | Michigan State | |
3 | Duke | One of those weeks where a bunch of teams lose. Hard to drop everybody. Duke still has 2 of the best with Bagley and Allen and strong resume |
4 | Wichita State | |
5 | Miami (FL) | One of the tougher teams for me to rank- I don't know that they're a top 5 team, but with others losing, they gain a few spots |
6 | Kentucky | |
7 | North Carolina | |
8 | Texas A&M | |
9 | Arizona State | Overreaction? possibly. But huge win over Kansas launches them up. One of best offenses in the country. |
10 | West Virginia | |
11 | Florida State | One of the larger jumps I've ever done, from unranked to 11. |
12 | Gonzaga | |
13 | Xavier | |
14 | TCU | I really like that Nevada win, I think Nevada is a strong team who could make noise in March. |
15 | Kansas | Kansas falls to the third Big 12 team- but big12refusedtochange and surely they'll bounce back from home losses to run the conference |
16 | Seton Hall | |
17 | Notre Dame | |
18 | Virginia | |
19 | Tennessee | |
20 | Purdue | |
21 | Arizona | Bounced back with good resume wins over UNLV, A&M, Bama |
22 | Baylor | |
23 | Texas Tech | butt |
24 | Texas | 6 Big 12 teams here? Oklahoma also looking solid, this conference about to be a dogfight. |
25 | Creighton | Honorable mentions: Florida, Minnesota, Houston, Virginia Tech |
