Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Duke | (--) there's a clear top 4, 5 and 6 also pretty locked in, but then there's "the field" |
2 | Virginia | (--) the challenge of this week: how to deal with the field? |
3 | Michigan | (--) all of them are beating up on each other, so who's good enough to get in? |
4 | Tennessee | (--) not sure how many I'll explain here since I have a class in 8 hours but we'll try |
5 | Michigan State | (--) top 8 from last week remain in place due to good weeks all around |
6 | Gonzaga | (--) |
7 | Virginia Tech | (--) really wish I didn't have hw due wednesday so I could watch this tuesday game :/ |
8 | Kansas | (--) who am I kidding, I'll end up watching it anyway |
9 | Florida State | (+1) now entering: the field |
10 | Texas Tech | (+6) you've officially earned my trust, don't spend it all in one place now |
11 | Nevada | (+2) there's a huuuge power vacuum here, I have to prioritize who had the "best loss" from here on |
12 | Houston | (+2) 4-point loss @Temple is pretty much the best loss I can dig up |
13 | Buffalo | (+5) I didn't expect these guys to climb so fast but here they are |
14 | Auburn | (-2) apparently Ole Miss is good now? |
15 | NC State | (--) you get a mulligan for UNC |
16 | North Carolina | (-5) you would've gotten a mulligan if you bothered to show up to claim it, that was embarrassing |
17 | Kentucky | (+4) survived the week 2-0 |
18 | Marquette | (+4) see above |
19 | Mississippi State | (-10) I sure hope these guys found a cure for the raging hangover they obviously had |
20 | Maryland | (NR) at this point the hot Big Ten team gets ranked, and these guys are the hot team |
21 | Ole Miss | (NR) the "no expectations" club will miss these guys, but they're racking up crazy wins |
22 | Oklahoma | (-3) a respectable fight with Texas Tech, but it's becoming evident these guys are half a tier below them and Kansas |
23 | Iowa | (NR) another hot Big Ten team? welcome to the 20-25 club |
24 | Villanova | (NR) you know the drill, leave your shoes by the door |
25 | UCF | (NR) haven't lost in a month, undefeated in-conf so far -- DROPPED: St. John's 17, Iowa St. 20, TCU 23, Indiana 24, Wisconsin 25 |
