Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | Tier 1a = |
2 | Michigan | Michigan stays at 2 with the win vs. Nebraska = |
3 | Virginia | Virginia is closing the gap between michigan. = |
4 | Tennessee | Tennessee moves up to tier 1 because of the murder against georgia. +2 |
5 | Gonzaga | Tier 2a +2 |
6 | Michigan State | +2 |
7 | Kansas | Tier 2b- Looked bad against ISU, but they still have wins over MSU and Tennessee. I'll consider the loss of Doke once they lose more. -2 |
8 | Texas Tech | +2 |
9 | Houston | Tier 3 +5 |
10 | NC State | Tier 4 - played only their 3rd or 4th tough game of the year, and looked good. +6 |
11 | Kentucky | Tier 5a - losing @alabama by 2 is bad, but its not horrible. I can't seem to see anyone below UK beating them more than 50% of the time. = |
12 | North Carolina | It's hard to think this team isn't top 15 considering how dominant they looked against Gonzaga. = |
13 | Buffalo | A few good wins and one loss @marquette continues to be a top tier resume, even without some major wins. +5 |
14 | Virginia Tech | I've converted on virginia tech. Still not all the way there, but they looked legit against notre dame. +7 |
15 | St. John's | dominated Marquette at home +2 |
16 | Marquette | They haven't shown the ability to win away from home, but they've looked unstoppable at home. -7 |
17 | Oklahoma | Tier 5b -2 |
18 | Nevada | Good God what a horrible loss. -14 |
19 | Iowa State | Win over Kansas jumps them all the way from unranked to 19. +16 |
20 | Ohio State | Even though the loss was at home, OSU still has a good resume and don't fall far -1 |
21 | Auburn | -1 |
22 | Mississippi State | Tier 6a +2 |
23 | Florida State | -1 |
24 | TCU | Tier 6b +4 |
25 | Minnesota | Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Maryland, Mississippi, North Texas, Louisville |
