Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan | Still cruising. |
2 | Kansas | Could have done slightly better vs Nova but not bad enough to drop them. Still a top tier resume. |
3 | Duke | I will not overvalue head to head results. Decent resume, and they would be favored against anyone on a neutral court. |
4 | Gonzaga | I will not overvalue head to head results. Insane schedule and resume still, and playing w/o Tillie. Loss at UNC isn't bad at all. |
5 | Nevada | Last two games were kinda concerning, but they've still amassed one of the best resumes in the country |
6 | Virginia | |
7 | Michigan State | Crazy good win at Florida headlines their top tier resume (insanely difficult schedule). Stellar bigs. |
8 | Tennessee | I will not overvalue head to head results. I still need to see more out of their guards. Top 8 are a tier above the rest in my opinion |
9 | Wisconsin | |
10 | Oklahoma | 5th, 10th best resume in the country according to WAB, SOR. They don't pass your eye test? Only 3/10 games have been at home. Few ez games. |
11 | North Carolina | I will not overvalue head to head results, nor recency. +5 spots. Resounding win vs Zags, but not every game has been that good for them. |
12 | Auburn | 0_õ I saw that UAB game. Not pretty, but a win is a win. Should be a tight race betw Tenn, Florida, and Miss St for the SEC |
13 | Texas Tech | Not the best resume, but of course they're 10-0. Not much they can do to do better, but I expect them to succeed as tougher games follow |
14 | Virginia Tech | |
15 | Nebraska | JPJ! Less than stellar resume but this team looks really good. They pass my eye test. Offense has been on the rise; great defense all year. |
16 | Mississippi State | |
17 | Florida State | |
18 | Indiana | Stellar resume. |
19 | Buffalo | |
20 | Houston | Stellar resume. Still cannot believe how well they're doing without Rob Gray. |
21 | Ohio State | Big drop. What were y'all doing versus Bucknell!?!? Probably a one-off, but no good team should have that kind of a game vs #205 at home. |
22 | Arizona State | |
23 | Iowa | |
24 | Iowa State | Not quite a resume deserving of the top 25, but they haven't been at full strength all year. I expect them to be top 10. |
25 | St. John's | They aren't that good, but they're undefeated and they have the 17th hardest resume to achieve (even w/ a weak schedule). Gotta respect that |
