Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | Sorry for the lack explanations last week, forgot to edit Monday morning. St. John's should have never kept my vote. |
2 | Virginia | |
3 | Gonzaga | |
4 | Duke | |
5 | Arizona | |
6 | Wisconsin | |
7 | Notre Dame | Quite a comeback in Raleigh. Could upend the Blue Devils Wednesday. |
8 | Utah | |
9 | Villanova | They're a great team, but not elite. Last Monday in D.C. was indicative of that. |
10 | Kansas | Best effort of the season came in Austin on Saturday. Back to the top of the Big 12 after Iowa State's sleepwalk in Lubbock. |
11 | Louisville | |
12 | Wichita State | |
13 | Maryland | |
14 | North Carolina | |
15 | Iowa State | |
16 | VCU | |
17 | West Virginia | |
18 | Northern Iowa | |
19 | Georgetown | 6-2 in the Big East should account for something, especially with a rout against a good Villanova team. |
20 | Texas | |
21 | Baylor | |
22 | Indiana | |
23 | Miami (FL) | Solid wins vs NC State and at Syracuse. Bad losses were over a month ago. |
24 | SMU | |
25 | Butler | Also considered Georgia, Dayton, Ohio State and Arkansas. Right now, the third best team in a strong conference. Neutral W's vs UNC & GTOWN |
