Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Virginia | Resume-based computer poll incorporating Quality Wins, W/L Record, SOS, MOV, and Efficiency. |
2 | Villanova | Designed to mimic selection and seeding for March, though I'll adjust rankings (maximum of 2 spots) to account for recent play. |
3 | Purdue | Though designed to reflect March seeding, Efficiency and MOV sway from that, but r included to reflect "better" teams and be more predictive |
4 | Xavier | |
5 | Texas Tech | Either my system overranks TTU, or the committee has underseeded them. |
6 | Michigan State | I get where the committee is coming from with MSU's resume, but the Purdue and UNC wins count for a lot of points in my system. |
7 | Duke | |
8 | Gonzaga | I get their SOS isn't great, but they have some quality wins - I think they're deserving of at least a 4 seed right now. |
9 | Cincinnati | |
10 | Auburn | |
11 | Clemson | |
12 | Ohio State | |
13 | North Carolina | |
14 | Kansas | My system has them a lot lower than what the committee thinks, could be due to their low MOV. |
15 | Saint Mary's | Committee will understandably seed them lower, but their win @ Gonzaga, strong W/L record and efficiency will keep them high on my rankings. |
16 | Tennessee | |
17 | West Virginia | My system probably overweights them a little. |
18 | Nevada | |
19 | Arizona State | Their resume is better than Arizona's (who's noticeably absent from my poll. Better MOV & wins, equal SOS, equal W/L, similar Efficiencies. |
20 | New Mexico State | Miami win helping a lot. |
21 | URI | |
22 | Wichita State | |
23 | Texas A&M | |
24 | Michigan | Really good wins. |
25 | Oklahoma | Bad MOV and efficiency has them low in my rankings. |
