Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | West Virginia | Since their opening season loss to A&M, WVU has looked as dominant as anyone in the country - great win over OU this week has them 1 for me |
2 | Villanova | Great team and they look dominant, but their resume to me isn't nearly as good as WVU with their best wins being Tenn & Gonzaga |
3 | Virginia | Slow ball continues to dominate & owned UNC the other night |
4 | Michigan State | Tough loss on the road @OSU but I think this is more of a flukey loss than a sign of things to come |
5 | Purdue | Purdue continues to impress & with many of the teams ahead of them falling this week, they shoot up my rankings to top5 |
6 | Texas Tech | The win in AFH this week was one of the more impressive performances of the year - Not a ton of quality wins, but only 1 loss @ a good SHall |
7 | Oklahoma | Still really impressed by this team & their dominant offense - The top of the BIG12 this year is really scary |
8 | Wichita State | They continue to win and look more like the team we expected at the beginning of the year |
9 | Xavier | |
10 | Duke | Duke needs to show they can win on the road in conference play or they are going to keep falling in my rankings - ugly loss @NCSU |
11 | Kansas | |
12 | Arizona | Without that Colorado collapse, I was about ready to have Arizona back in my top6... but it was a weird week |
13 | Arizona State | I feel like I still don't know who this team is. They are playing to their competition & did not look very impressive this week |
14 | Cincinnati | |
15 | Miami (FL) | |
16 | Seton Hall | How did this team lose to Rutgers earlier this year? They look like a real threat in the BE and got a great win @Hinkle |
17 | Gonzaga | |
18 | TCU | |
19 | North Carolina | |
20 | Clemson | |
21 | Auburn | Impressive road win @UT. it's a shame they didn't play many good teams in the non-conference or they could be a lot higher with only 1 Loss |
22 | Tennessee | The top of the SEC is very congested with about 6 teams that could emerge on top. Hard to separate any of them right now |
23 | Florida | Two quality conference road wins this week push the Gators back into the Top25 for me |
24 | Creighton | |
25 | Texas A&M | Next 5: Kentucky, Nevada, FSU, Rhode Island, Ohio State |
