Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | no change |
2 | Virginia | up 5 |
3 | Oklahoma | up 5; but it's a hard group to rank since WVU beat OU who beat TTU who beat WVU |
4 | Texas Tech | no change; logic here: I think OU is the best of Big 12 trio, TTU just beat KU and WVU so hard to ignore, and WVU is iffy to me in spots |
5 | West Virginia | down 3; WVU is iffy because I still can't shake that blow out loss to TAMU and the near loss to Marist, OU is a great win though but @ home |
6 | Duke | no change |
7 | Purdue | up 7; correction, I had them way too low last week and that's my bad |
8 | Michigan State | down 5; near loss to Rutgers and then a loss to Michigan to compound the Ohio State loss. The latter two are good but hot damn they're cold |
9 | Wichita State | down 4; correction down, not as good as teams I had them over last week and have a weaker resume thus far |
10 | Kansas | down 1 |
11 | Arizona | no change |
12 | Gonzaga | up 5; not sure if they're quite this good yet but they're definitely good enough to jump due to the losses below them |
13 | Kentucky | up 7; it's a tragedy they're the only ones I can justify moving up |
14 | North Carolina | up 4; hey they did beat Notre Dame. they may be without Farrell and Colson but survive and advance applies even now at this rate |
15 | Xavier | down 2; Creighton is a good win but they got SPANKED by Nova |
16 | Auburn | up 4; got to reward the winning at this point |
17 | Seton Hall | down 1; got spanked by Marquette on the road but recovered nicely |
18 | Tennessee | up 7; winning pays off yet again |
19 | Clemson | no change; @NC State isn't a terrible loss, especially since they beat Miami over the weekend |
20 | TCU | down 10; ok, at some point you do have to win. I want to keep overlooking these L's but let's grit one out here boys |
21 | Florida State | down 6; second straight loss and then a 2OT win over an ok Syracuse team isn't inspiring confidence |
22 | Arizona State | down 10; the Pac stinks and ASU still can't be over .500 to start conference play. Uh oh |
23 | Cincinnati | down 1; by-product of their eh conference |
24 | Ohio State | up 1; continuing to excel |
25 | Michigan | new; Michigan State keeps letting new teams in. Good close loss to Purdue is enough to break in with weak top 25 this yr. Miami (24) out |
