Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kentucky | LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them |
2 | Virginia | LW: 2. UVA will prove to everyone they deserve #1 if they can beat Duke this week |
3 | Gonzaga | LW: 3. |
4 | Duke | LW: 5, +1. Huge games this week against Virginia and Notre Dame |
5 | Wisconsin | LW: 6, +1. Destroyed Iowa, eked past Michigan, both without their starting point guard |
6 | Arizona | LW: 7, +1 |
7 | Villanova | LW: 4, -3. Georgetown is a good team, but the top is too tight to stay up with a loss. |
8 | Wichita State | LW: 8 |
9 | Notre Dame | LW: 9. They survived a nail biter against NC State, the Duke game might define their season |
10 | Kansas | LW: 11, +1 |
11 | Louisville | LW: 13, +2 |
12 | Utah | LW: 14, +2. |
13 | North Carolina | LW: 15, +2. |
14 | Iowa State | LW: 10, -4. Texas Tech is a very average team, and ISU should've handed it to them |
15 | West Virginia | LW: 17, +2. |
16 | VCU | LW: 19, +3. |
17 | Maryland | LW: 12, -5. This week has not been a good one for the B1G newcomers |
18 | Texas | LW: 16, -2. Kansas is a good team, Texas doesn't deserve to plummet |
19 | Georgetown | LW: N/A, +7. Leading the Big East is pretty impressive considering how good the league is this year. |
20 | Baylor | LW: N/A, +6. I am not super impressed by them, but their record deserves a ranking |
21 | Wyoming | LW: N/A, +5. Similar to Baylor |
22 | Northern Iowa | LW: 23, +1. |
23 | Syracuse | LW: 18, -5. Their matchup against UNC will have huge season implications for the Orange |
24 | Indiana | LW: 25, +1. Yes, they did lose to OSU, but their win over Maryland will barely trump that loss |
25 | Colorado State | LW: N/A, +1. They deserve a bit of love, but they still have a lot to prove in my book |
