RankTeamReason
1 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia West Virginia and Villanova were my clear 1 and 2.
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova
3 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Since I rank on my eye-test of resumes, Texas Tech and Arizona State can both crash if Kansas crashes, but right now everyone looks fine.
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia I'm not high on Virginia Tech, which is Virginia's best road win.
5 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Road wins over TCU and Wichita State keep them high.
6 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State ASU is starting to look wobbly in conference play, but had an amazing non-conference.
7 Duke University Logo Duke Duke is struggling in road ACC games (5 straight losses), but still picked up some glitter for the resume in the non-con.
8 Purdue University Logo Purdue The scar of the WKU loss has made their trip to the top 10 long and hard, however I don't think they will be losing much in the Big 10.
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Michigan State needs to avoid additional losses to stay high in the ranks. Their SOS isn't gonna be the best this year.
10 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall I gave Seton Hall the edge in rank over Xavier because they have big wins away from home.
11 Xavier University Logo Xavier
12 Auburn University Logo Auburn Just beat 2 ranked teams and is on a 12 game win streak.
13 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State WSU, Gonzaga, and Cincinnati are all going to be much better than their seeds/resume in March.
14 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
15 Clemson University Logo Clemson I don't know if their success will be sustained but they get a top 15 ranking for now.
16 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Clemson did better against their shared opponent: Florida.
17 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Nearly gave up control against TCU. This Kansas team is at a tipping point of becoming good or turning out to be really bad.
18 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Aside from the home loss to Wofford, they have played like a decent team.
19 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Take everything past here with a grain of salt. Other teams considered: Miami, Kentucky, Arkansas, Baylor, Butler, Ohio St
20 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
21 Texas Christian University Logo TCU
22 Florida State University Logo Florida State
23 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M
24 Creighton University Logo Creighton
