Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | |
2 | Virginia | Manages a large comeback for a very tight victory against the third worst team they have or will play this year. |
3 | Gonzaga | Nothing to cause any movement in the top 3. |
4 | Duke | |
5 | Notre Dame | |
6 | Arizona | Nearly put them ahead of Notre Dame, very tight. 2 top 10 wins and 2 outside top 50 losses. |
7 | Louisville | 3 KP Top 10 losses, yet no exceptional wins (Ohio State? Indiana?) |
8 | Kansas | Kansas had a great week, beating both Oklahoma at home and Texas on the road. |
9 | Villanova | |
10 | Wisconsin | Wisconsin has to be below Villanova due to Rutgers loss. Otherwise similar resume. |
11 | Utah | |
12 | Maryland | |
13 | Wichita State | That OT loss to Utah really hurts, as they have no resume builders until Northern Iowa. |
14 | North Carolina | |
15 | West Virginia | |
16 | VCU | Pulled out the close win against SLU. |
17 | Iowa State | Got caught overlooking TTU, with only one day rest before Texas. |
18 | Northern Iowa | |
19 | Baylor | |
20 | Colorado State | |
21 | Texas | |
22 | Georgetown | |
23 | Miami (FL) | |
24 | Ohio State | Had lost to every team faced in KP top 50, had beat everyone outside the top 50, until beating Indiana. |
25 | Indiana | Loss to Ohio State took them from 19 to 25. |
