Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | Saw them play against Xavier in person on Wednesday. They looked dominant. |
2 | Duke | |
3 | Wichita State | |
4 | Texas Tech | |
5 | Virginia | |
6 | West Virginia | |
7 | Purdue | Boi7ers |
8 | Cincinnati | This team has impressed me lately with their consistency. I'll probably end up having them higher than most people. |
9 | Kansas | |
10 | Oklahoma | |
11 | Michigan State | They're struggling. I have faith in Izzo to get them going again, though. |
12 | Auburn | 16-1 in a power conference deserves to be at least somewhat close to the top 10, no? |
13 | North Carolina | |
14 | Xavier | |
15 | Clemson | |
16 | Arizona State | |
17 | Kentucky | |
18 | Ohio State | Dark horse in the Big 10? The Buckeyes have looked like one of the best teams in the country this month. |
19 | Gonzaga | |
20 | Seton Hall | |
21 | Arizona | |
22 | TCU | Unluckiest team so far this season. If this team learns how to win close games against good teams, watch out. |
23 | Michigan | |
24 | Nevada | |
25 | Tennessee | Next 5: St. Mary's, Creighton, Miami (FL), Rhode Island, Louisville |
