Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | 0 |
2 | Virginia | 0 |
3 | Nevada | 0 |
4 | Gonzaga | 0 |
5 | Kansas | 0 I guess LaGerald Vick saw all of my trash talking online? He saved the Jayhawks this week. |
6 | North Carolina | +1 I keep going back and forth on UNC or Tennessee at No. 6. UNC has really dominated the competition so far. |
7 | Tennessee | -1 |
8 | Auburn | +1 |
9 | Michigan | +8 Now with the No. 1 defense in the country! (According to KenPom) |
10 | Michigan State | +2 |
11 | Kansas State | 0 |
12 | Florida State | +2 |
13 | Oregon | +2 |
14 | Virginia Tech | +3 |
15 | Kentucky | -2 |
16 | Syracuse | -8 An awful week for Syracuse. I can’t really drop them any further than this. There’s talent there, but they miss Howard. |
17 | Villanova | -7 Ditto for Villanova. I’m not sure what to do with either team at this point. You could drop either from top 25. |
18 | Indiana | 0 A mixed bag, but an overall positive week after soundly beating Marquette, only to drop one to Arkansas. |
19 | Miami (FL) | 0 Had their worst game of the year against Bethune-Cookman. |
20 | Wisconsin | +1 Really liked what I saw from them against Xavier. Again feeling optimistic about the Badgers. |
21 | Purdue | +3 I know they lost to Virginia Tech, but again, feeling even better about this team than I did in the preseason. |
22 | Arizona State | 0 Big matchup against Mississippi St. Monday night. Expect to see the victor in this spot next week. |
23 | LSU | 0 |
24 | Nebraska | NR They’ve done everything they needed to do so far … and creamed Seton Hall. It’s time to reward Nebrasketball. |
25 | Buffalo | 0 Could’ve gone with cinderella Furman in this spot, but let’s keep Nate Oats on our alter for now. |
