Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Virginia | They destroyed a Florida State team in the Top 10 and finally silenced the doubters that said they hadn't played any top team yet |
2 | Tennessee | Looked too good in their game against Georgia to be below Michigan |
3 | Michigan | |
4 | Duke | A ton of good wins but their lone loss + how good Tennessee has looked keeps them at #4 for me. |
5 | Michigan State | |
6 | Gonzaga | |
7 | Texas Tech | |
8 | Virginia Tech | |
9 | Kansas | Solid Iowa State team beats KU...still think they're legit and will win the BIG12 by two games |
10 | NC State | They keep rising in my estimation...a team that has come out of the woodwork and could make a legitimate title challenge in the ACC |
11 | Ohio State | |
12 | Auburn | Only two losses to teams ahead of them in my poll...only team I think can legitimately challenge Tennessee in the SEC |
13 | Iowa State | I know this seems a bit high, but this team deserves more respect and showed why at home against a depleted KU |
14 | Florida State | |
15 | Mississippi State | |
16 | North Carolina | |
17 | Nevada | They got demolished by a sub-par team. Don't see any way Nevada could end up with a 1 seed now in the tournament even with just 1 loss |
18 | Marquette | Big fan of this Marquette team and think they could make a big run in March |
19 | Kentucky | When was the last time UK was arguably the 4th best team in the SEC???? |
20 | Houston | Still undefeated...still unsure how legit Houston is |
21 | Buffalo | |
22 | Oklahoma | |
23 | Indiana | Put up a decent fight against UMICH...still think they're a top 4 BIG10 team when conference play is said and done |
24 | St. John's | Lost to a dangerous Seton Hall team with quality wins |
25 | Wisconsin |
