Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | Not gonna try to write many explanations this week because, well, pretty much nothing happened. |
2 | Michigan | |
3 | Virginia | |
4 | Tennessee | |
5 | Gonzaga | They look excellent, have beaten the #1 team, and are probably gonna dominate the WCC for the fifty billionth straight year. |
6 | Kansas | The loss to Arizona State is looking worse, and I'm just more confident in Gonzaga at this point. |
7 | Texas Tech | |
8 | Michigan State | |
9 | Auburn | |
10 | Marquette | |
11 | Nevada | Utah win was refreshing, even if they and the rest of the Pac-12 are, at best, the 7th best conference this season. |
12 | North Carolina | I wasn't even that hard on them after the Kentucky loss and I'm already starting to think I was too hard. Probably better than you think. |
13 | Virginia Tech | Still a "we'll see" team going into ACC play. |
14 | Nebraska | |
15 | Kentucky | Alright, turns out the Wildcats are actually good. Not declaring them elite again yet, but they're firmly ranked. |
16 | NC State | |
17 | Oklahoma | |
18 | Mississippi State | I took a closer look at their résumé and realized I actually like it way better than Wisconsin's or Ohio State's. |
19 | Wisconsin | The only tough thing this week was figuring out how far to drop Wisconsin. It was initially four, then MsSt and UK jumped them. WKU is fine. |
20 | Ohio State | |
21 | Florida State | Jumped Buffalo and Indiana because I'm beginning to feel better about their good wins, but I'm still not top-10 sold. I just don't get it. |
22 | Indiana | |
23 | Buffalo | |
24 | Cincinnati | |
25 | Houston | The only team I dropped was Arizona State, and I replaced them with these guys, my first team out last week. |
