Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | No movement in top 4 |
2 | Kansas | |
3 | Gonzaga | |
4 | Nevada | |
5 | North Carolina | Beat Stanford in combination without previous road wins |
6 | Auburn | |
7 | Tennessee | |
8 | Virginia | |
9 | Michigan | I think Villanova’s second loss was more of an after shock because of how badly they lost to Michigan. |
10 | Kentucky | |
11 | Michigan State | |
12 | Virginia Tech | Beat a really solid Purdue squad. |
13 | Kansas State | |
14 | Florida State | |
15 | Mississippi State | |
16 | UCLA | |
17 | Iowa | Wiped the floor with Oregon, dismantled UConn. Offense is still elite while denfense showed stark improvement from last year. |
18 | LSU | |
19 | Oregon | |
20 | TCU | |
21 | Clemson | |
22 | Nebraska | Win over Seton Hall somewhat legitimizes this team’s hype. |
23 | Buffalo | |
24 | Ohio State | two true road wins against perennial tournament teams this early in the season have earned them this spot |
25 | Purdue | I still believe in the Carsen Edwards show, losing to a really good VA Tech team does not end with them falling out. |
