Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | [1] Of the thirty teams I tracked this week, roughly 2/3rds of them lost at least once. This was not one of those teams. |
2 | Virginia | [4] We've entered a golden age of Virginia Cavaliers basketball, and as an ACC fan that's horrifying |
3 | Duke | [2] If they beat Louisville they'll deserve to stay here; otherwise, yeah, Gonzaga jumps up |
4 | Gonzaga | [6] Probably the most likely team to be a #1 seed at this point. Not THE #1 seed, but one of them |
5 | Villanova | [7] Duke/Gonzaga and Louisville/Villanova are both tossups for me |
6 | Louisville | [5] Deprived me of three ACC teams in the top four by losing to UNC |
7 | Utah | [10] Arizona and Utah play this week! If I didn't hate college basketball now I'd watch the shit out of that |
8 | Iowa State | [11] Two statement wins in a brutal conference |
9 | Maryland | [9] Wisconsin has looked better in most regards... |
10 | Wisconsin | [3] ...but seriously, Rutgers? I almost dropped you from the list this week on principle |
11 | Kansas | [16] Had a good week and is Kansas so gets to jump the rest of the scrum below here |
12 | Arizona | [8] Do not lose to Oregon State. Do not make me come back to update this. E: fuckin |
13 | Notre Dame | [14] Notre Dame beat UNC and lost to Virginia. UNC beat Louisville but lost to Notre Dame... |
14 | North Carolina | [13] ...I have no idea how to gauge that properly so I'm just leaving them mostly where they were |
15 | Wichita State | [18] Don't ask me why I looked but are Wichita State tickets (in Wichita) hella expensive or was I just looking in the wrong place (StubHub) |
16 | West Virginia | [17] Iowa State loss doesn't mean too much to me (already thought they were better) and I've given up hating other teams this season |
17 | VCU | [20] Haven't lost in over a month with no obvious spots on the horizon |
18 | Arkansas | [23] Below this point (including this spot) I have no idea what I'm doing |
19 | Baylor | [15] Big XII benefit of the doubt |
20 | Oklahoma | [22] Nothing about this week makes any sense, basically staying by virtue of the Texas slam |
21 | Ohio State | [19] Indiana's probably good |
22 | Dayton | [New] Weak schedule but has done a good job with it |
23 | Oklahoma State | [25] Also beat Texas, gets to stay another week |
24 | Seton Hall | [21] All three losses were on the road to great teams |
25 | NC State | [New] Deserves at least one point for beating Duke (Next Five: Texas, UNI, Sparty, SMU, Alabama) |
