RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke Tier 1a I think there is an argument for any of the top 3 to be at #1 , but I personally see duke as just a cut above the rest
2 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Tier 1b
3 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga St Mary's is vastly overrated by efficiency metrics, and to a lesser extent USF, but they are solid teams. Winning by 30 and 48 is scary
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia
5 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Tier 1c
6 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky
7 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina tier 1d
8 University of Houston Logo Houston Tier 2a
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State They still have a phenomenal win resume and unlike Kansas they don't have as many reasons for thinking there will be a continued slump
10 Purdue University Logo Purdue
11 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada continue to roll in the MWC. Really waiting for that March 2nd game
12 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Tier 2b tOP QuAliTY lOss and a quality win this week
13 Villanova University Logo Villanova The narrow loss @ Marquette was less concerning than the win vs Creighton.
14 Marquette University Logo Marquette If they could just not lose to St. Johns...
15 Louisiana State University Logo LSU Tier 3 Very solid wins this week @Miss st and vs Auburn
16 University of Kansas Logo Kansas What to do? Their resume says 10 still, but their performances without azubuike say otherwise. Will vick return?
17 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
18 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Got their best road win this week, but IU appears to be in freefall so who knows what to make of it
19 Kansas State University Logo Kansas State
20 Florida State University Logo Florida State
21 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech
22 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Nebraska looks pretty bad, but winning on the road by 15 is still very solid
23 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State
24 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech @ me with "but KP" all you want, but your win resume is not too impressive, but you have 5 losses. Also Robinson is out indefinitely
25 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo Need to figure out how to play the first 10 minutes of a game 26. Cincy 27. Wofford
