RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo 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 University of Virginia Logo Virginia [4] We've entered a golden age of Virginia Cavaliers basketball, and as an ACC fan that's horrifying
3 Duke University Logo Duke [2] If they beat Louisville they'll deserve to stay here; otherwise, yeah, Gonzaga jumps up
4 Gonzaga University Logo 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 University Logo Villanova [7] Duke/Gonzaga and Louisville/Villanova are both tossups for me
6 University of Louisville Logo Louisville [5] Deprived me of three ACC teams in the top four by losing to UNC
7 University of Utah Logo 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 University Logo Iowa State [11] Two statement wins in a brutal conference
9 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland [9] Wisconsin has looked better in most regards...
10 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin [3] ...but seriously, Rutgers? I almost dropped you from the list this week on principle
11 University of Kansas Logo Kansas [16] Had a good week and is Kansas so gets to jump the rest of the scrum below here
12 University of Arizona Logo Arizona [8] Do not lose to Oregon State. Do not make me come back to update this. E: fuckin
13 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame [14] Notre Dame beat UNC and lost to Virginia. UNC beat Louisville but lost to Notre Dame...
14 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo 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 University Logo 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 University Logo 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 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU [20] Haven't lost in over a month with no obvious spots on the horizon
18 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas [23] Below this point (including this spot) I have no idea what I'm doing
19 Baylor University Logo Baylor [15] Big XII benefit of the doubt
20 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma [22] Nothing about this week makes any sense, basically staying by virtue of the Texas slam
21 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State [19] Indiana's probably good
22 University of Dayton Logo Dayton [New] Weak schedule but has done a good job with it
23 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State [25] Also beat Texas, gets to stay another week
24 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall [21] All three losses were on the road to great teams
25 North Carolina State University Logo NC State [New] Deserves at least one point for beating Duke (Next Five: Texas, UNI, Sparty, SMU, Alabama)
