Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Didn't look perfect @Louisville, but did enough for the tough road win. |
2 | Duke | No games this week. |
3 | Virginia | No games this week. |
4 | Wisconsin | Still just the 10pt loss to Duke. 12pt win @Cal this week. Bit of a Buffalo scare. Still a very good team. |
5 | Villanova | Michigan take note - you should beat N.J.I.T. by 25. |
6 | Louisville | Did not look like a complete team. Poor shooting and turnovers. |
7 | Gonzaga | @BYU is a very tough place to win. Still just the OT loss @'Zona. |
8 | Arizona | Been close to getting knocked off - @UNLV is very tough. Can't knock 'em down further. |
9 | Iowa State | No games this week. Lucky that so many teams ahead lost. |
10 | Maryland | They haven't been impressive, but only loss is still just to UVA. |
11 | Utah | Only losses are to ranked teams. Took care of business against the Jackrabbits. |
12 | West Virginia | LSU loss looking more and more like a fluke as season goes on. 33 pt walloping of Wofford helps their case. |
13 | St. John's | A 25 pt neutral floor win gives them the edge over Notre Dame in my book. |
14 | Notre Dame | Took care of business. Jumped by a few teams, but will have chance to prove mettle in ACC schedule. |
15 | Texas | Surprising loss to Stanford at home, but not impossible to recover from. Very close game. |
16 | Northern Iowa | Still just the OT loss to VCU. Took care of business this week. I like these Panthers. |
17 | TCU | Undefeated and not the worst schedule I see in the top-25. |
18 | Colorado State | Undefeated, but not necessarily against stiff competition. |
19 | Washington | They really shouldn't lose to Stony Brook... Still, it may just be growing pains. |
20 | Penn State | Only loss was a 2OT early on. Plus that one Maryland fan hating on PSU makes me want to include them even more. |
21 | Ohio State | The Buckeyes leaving no room for doubt this week that they can handle lesser opponents. |
22 | Wichita State | They made it to the championship of the Diamond Head Classic, but couldn't close it out. Too many close games led up to this. |
23 | Oklahoma | 34 pt margin vs. Weber St. They seem motivated by already having 3 losses. |
24 | North Carolina | UNC is taking care of business - there will be plenty of opportunity to move up come conference schedule. |
25 | Baylor | A 4 pt margin vs. Southern? Come on Bears, you can do better. |
