Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Virginia | UVA is still #2 in WAB and #1 in SOR. Resume is top tier. One head to head result (especially an away loss) isn't gonna change that. |
2 | Michigan State | Last 4 wins: @ OSU, vs Purdue, @ PSU, @Nebraska. #1 in the nation in WAB and #2 in SOR. No one is hotter. |
3 | Duke | They played without Tre Jones and Reddish in their loss, but it was at home. You can't have Syracuse score 95 points on you. |
4 | Tennessee | #4 in WAB and #5 in SOR. Perfect aside from an OT L, but their recent wins haven't been like UVA, MSU, Duke. Tough schedule is in Feb, Mar. |
5 | Michigan | |
6 | Gonzaga | |
7 | Kansas | Whole body of work. #3 in WAB and #6 in SOR. Obviously they haven't been playing well but I mostly rank teams by their resumes. |
8 | North Carolina | |
9 | Maryland | |
10 | Buffalo | |
11 | Nevada | |
12 | Iowa | |
13 | Houston | |
14 | Texas Tech | |
15 | Virginia Tech | |
16 | Kentucky | Playing amazing right now, but had to play major catch-up to get a good resume after a slow start to the year. #18 in WAB and #15 in SOR. |
17 | Oklahoma | Top tier resume against one of the hardest schedules in the country (#3). |
18 | Mississippi State | |
19 | Marquette | |
20 | LSU | |
21 | Louisville | |
22 | Ole Miss | |
23 | Iowa State | |
24 | Kansas State | Since Dean Wade has come back, K-State has been #4 in country in adj efficiency and has accrued the best resume over the 3 game stretch |
25 | Nebraska | 26. Purdue (good team but resume not there yet) 27. Auburn (good team but sub-top 25 resume right now). 28. Nova 29. Wisc |
