Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Definitely the most impressive resume so far |
2 | Michigan State | |
3 | Arizona State | They are legit, interested to see how long they keep this momentum going |
4 | Miami (FL) | |
5 | Duke | Losing to Boston College typically means you aren't going to hold on to your #1 spot |
6 | Wichita State | |
7 | North Carolina | |
8 | Kansas | Thought about putting them lower, but I'm confident in Bill Self turning them around |
9 | Xavier | |
10 | Kentucky | |
11 | Texas A&M | |
12 | Seton Hall | Their only loss this year is by one point to Rhode Island and they have a ton of experience |
13 | West Virginia | |
14 | TCU | |
15 | Florida State | Maybe too high considering Florida has been their only legit competition, but they came to play. |
16 | Gonzaga | |
17 | Virginia | |
18 | Texas Tech | |
19 | Creighton | |
20 | Arizona | I'm a big believer in their talent, they've looked better since returning from the Bahamas, and now Rawle Alkins is back. |
21 | Louisville | |
22 | Baylor | |
23 | Purdue | Hard team to place, but like Arizona I think they just had a tough week |
24 | Oklahoma | |
25 | Minnesota | they slippin' |
