Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Villanova | LW: 1 |
2 | Virginia | LW: 2 |
3 | Purdue | LW: 3 |
4 | Duke | LW: 7 |
5 | Xavier | LW: 8 |
6 | Kansas | LW: 11. Still have questions about this team but there's no denying how impressive Monday's comeback over WVU was |
7 | North Carolina | LW: 12. Ugh |
8 | West Virginia | LW: 4 |
9 | Clemson | LW: 13 |
10 | Auburn | LW: 16. Moving them up into the top 10 doesn't reflect the week they've had, but upon further review, Auburn's got a sneaky great resume |
11 | Oklahoma | LW: 5. Not the ideal week for the Sooners, but also not the end of the world. They played a pair of tough teams on the road |
12 | Michigan State | LW: 10 |
13 | Cincinnati | LW: 22. I've overlooked them for too long. This looks like a fantastic team. Can't wait until they play Wichita State |
14 | Ohio State | LW: 23. I had questions about their non-con, but their amazing conference performance is enough to overcome those concerns for now |
15 | Wichita State | LW: 9. Tough stretch for the Shockers. Landry Shamet is too good to put up the numbers he did against Houston. |
16 | Arizona | LW: 14 |
17 | Gonzaga | LW: 20 |
18 | Tennessee | LW: 18 |
19 | Seton Hall | LW: 15 |
20 | Texas Tech | LW: 6. Poor performances this week that got me thinking I might've been overrating them. They played a very soft non-con |
21 | Saint Mary's | LW: NR. Really enjoy watching this experienced St. Mary's team, especially Jock Landale. @Gonzaga was a huge win for their tourney hopes |
22 | Florida | LW: NR. I really just have no idea with this team, they've just been bouncing in and out of my rankings. Are they good? |
23 | Creighton | LW: 24 |
24 | Kentucky | LW: 19. I know they had a terrible week but the games were close, and I still think there's too much talent to ignore |
25 | Arizona State | LW: 17. Stanford's surprising everyone, so I won't penalize them too much for that loss. It's clear that ASU is more top-25 than top-5 |
