Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | [LW: 1] At least Alabama's an okay team |
2 | Virginia | [2] Deserved the feast on the ACC underbelly that it got |
3 | Gonzaga | [4] Have to slot up Gonzaga after giving Duke the benefit of the doubt once |
4 | Duke | [3] Goin' DOWN this Monday! (Louisville win saves what would've been a sizable drop) |
5 | Villanova | [5] Surviving a serious gauntlet very well right now, still my pick to be last #1 seed (UK, Gonzaga, ACC winner other three) |
6 | Wisconsin | [10] I probably overreacted last week considering injuries and it was a road game. Even still: Rutgers?! |
7 | Louisville | [6] Wisconsin lost to Duke by less, is all I'm saying |
8 | Arizona | [12] Had home-court but an eighteen point win over Utah is significant |
9 | Maryland | [9] Yeah, this seems about right. Finally above Iowa State, too. |
10 | Utah | [7] Can't beat Arizona on the road, such is life |
11 | Notre Dame | [13] Benefits from me having no idea what to do with the Big XII |
12 | Iowa State | [10] I have no idea what to do with Big XII teams. Or Big East teams, if we're talking about that. |
13 | Kansas | [11] Lost to a team I had ranked above them on the road, basically a push |
14 | North Carolina | [14] |
15 | Wichita State | [15] |
16 | VCU | [17] Progression of VCU on my ballot: 17, 15, 27, Unranked, 28, 26, 25, 20, 17, 16 |
17 | West Virginia | [16] REALLY want to drop them but concede that (1) this is a good team (2) the teams below them keep losing worse |
18 | Dayton | [22] I respect the Atlantic 10 |
19 | Northern Iowa | [N5] |
20 | Texas | [N5] Thanks for slamming WVU, sorry you can't beat Oklahoma teams |
21 | Oklahoma | [20] I have NO IDEA what to do with the Big XII |
22 | Baylor | [19] |
23 | SMU | [N5] Do you have a better idea, at this point? |
24 | Iowa | [New] 4-1 in the B1G! How about that! |
25 | Georgia | [New] Eventually an SEC team will stick as #2 (Next Five: Ohio State, Michigan State, Stanford, Saint Mary's, Tulsa) |
