Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
2 | Duke | LW: 2 |
3 | Virginia | LW: 3 |
4 | Wisconsin | LW: 4 |
5 | Arizona | LW: 6, +1 |
6 | Louisville | LW: 7, +1 |
7 | Gonzaga | LW: 8, +1. |
8 | Villanova | LW: 5, -3. Losing to Seton Hall hurts, but Seton Hall is a team just outside my top 25, so Nova will stay above some 1 loss teams |
9 | West Virginia | LW: 10, +1 |
10 | Kansas | LW: 11, +1 |
11 | Wichita State | LW: 12, +1 |
12 | Maryland | LW: 17, +5. Wins over MSU and Minnesota vault 1-loss Maryland into the top 15 |
13 | Iowa State | LW: 9, -4. The loss to South Carolina drops the Cyclones, but they have a big matchup coming up against OSU, so they need to rebound quick |
14 | Texas | LW: 13, -1. 14-16 get hurt by the Maryland jump. Texas' big game against Oklahoma has big implications for the middle of my bracket |
15 | Utah | LW: 14, -1. |
16 | Oklahoma | LW: 15, -1. |
17 | North Carolina | LW: 19, +2. Big game against Notre Dame this week will say a lot about the quality of this UNC team |
18 | Notre Dame | LW: N/A, +8. Only 2 losses this deep into the season will put ND up in the top 20, if they beat UNC, they stay |
19 | Ohio State | LW: 16, -3. Loss to Iowa drops OSU, but not too much as teams below them aren't much better looking so far |
20 | Syracuse | LW: 22, +2 |
21 | VCU | LW: 24, +3 |
22 | Washington | LW: 20, -2. After charging into the top 10 of some polls, the Huskies have sputtered of late, with a loss to Cal this week |
23 | San Diego State | LW: 18, -5. Losing to an average Fresno State team will drop you, especially when you already have a couple L's this year already |
24 | Oregon | LW: 25, +1 |
25 | Cincinnati | LW: N/A, +1. Very impressed by their season so far, and I'll give them a spot because I think they are a little overlooked so far |
