Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Gonzaga | (+2) Kansas has the better resume, but at this point there isn't a team I would take on a neutral over GU. Even without Tillie. |
2 | Kansas | (+1) Picked up another top 10 win after beating my (5) Tennessee in OT. The ultimate 1B to Gonzaga's 1A. |
3 | Duke | (-2) Gonzaga made them look human for the first 30 minutes of that game, they are still easily a top 3 team for me though. |
4 | Virginia | (-) Won another November tournament... shocker |
5 | Tennessee | (-) Losing to Kansas in OT showed me this team is legit and right where I thought they were. Not dropping them for that. |
6 | Nevada | (+1) |
7 | Michigan | (+1) |
8 | Michigan State | (+2) Big wins over UCLA and a tough Texas team |
9 | Auburn | (-2) Didn't play as well against Xavier as I thought they would but gave Duke a great game. Jared Harper is the truth. |
10 | North Carolina | (-3) Avoided the 0-2 in Vegas by beating UCLA. Need to figure out how to stop the ball ASAP or its going to be a long season defensively. |
11 | Virginia Tech | (+1) Won the Charleston Classic like I thought they would. Have a real chance to go undefeated in OOC play. |
12 | Kentucky | (-1) VT has shown me more than UK so they get jumped for now |
13 | Kansas State | (+1) |
14 | Wisconsin | (+6) Feels weird to move a team up like this but I was impressed by what they showed this week |
15 | Purdue | (+7) Same thing as above ^, played VT a bit tougher than I thought they would |
16 | Ohio State | (+2) Less about what OSU did and more about what the teams behind them showed me (Wiscy and Purdue). All 3 of them are very close for me. |
17 | Florida State | (-4) Who knows what happens in that LSU game without that lucky bounce... LSU is hurting them as well by apparently being terrible |
18 | Iowa | (+2) |
19 | Texas | (NR) Big win over UNC, couldn't hold on against MSU. Kerwin Roach is a savage |
20 | Villanova | (NR) Were just outside my 25 last week and now they're back |
21 | Oregon | (+4) |
22 | Clemson | (-6) |
23 | Texas Tech | (NR) |
24 | Indiana | (-) |
25 | Mississippi State | (-10) Lipscomb isn't a bad team by any means, but that is a game you should win. |
