Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Michigan | (1) Nothing changed from last week |
2 | Virginia | (2) |
3 | Duke | (4) |
4 | Tennessee | (6) |
5 | Gonzaga | (7) |
6 | Michigan State | (8) |
7 | Nevada | (5) Bad loss in the Pit, but not easy to play in the Pit |
8 | Virginia Tech | (9) |
9 | Texas Tech | (10) |
10 | Kansas | (3) With Doke, I felt like KU was one of the best. Without him, I'm not sure they are that great. They'll still get a share of Big 12 title. |
11 | Auburn | (11) |
12 | North Carolina | (12) |
13 | Ohio State | (13) While they lost to MSU, opinion on them didn't change. |
14 | NC State | (17) |
15 | Iowa State | (19) Good win vs Kansas. Been high all year on ISU. Everyone will know Tyrese's name soon. |
16 | Florida State | (15) Losing to Virginia isn't a bad thing |
17 | Houston | (20) |
18 | Kentucky | (14) It's going to be a weird SEC season for Kentucky. |
19 | Mississippi State | (21) |
20 | St. John's | (UR) I've been underrating them all year. Only loss is by a poor officiating gaffe that happened against Seton Hall |
21 | Indiana | (23) Lost to Michigan, but that's not terrible. |
22 | Purdue | (UR) Maybe the computers weren't wrong on Purdue. |
23 | Marquette | (24) |
24 | Buffalo | (25) |
25 | TCU | (UR) Others considered: Wisconsin, Villanova, Iowa, and Oklahoma |
