Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Purdue | +0 The gap between Purdue and the rest of the top 5 was pretty big in my eyes and with basically everyone losing, they remain here. |
2 | UConn | +3 One of the only teams at the top not to lose last week. |
3 | Kansas | +1 Horrid loss to UCF, but bounce back with a big time win over Oklahoma |
4 | Arizona | -1 Bad loss to WSU, but this team is still top 5 in my eyes. |
5 | Wisconsin | +3 Outside of their blowout loss to Zona, this team has looking great in the past month in a half. |
6 | Houston | -4 Two losses really hurts them, not a great start to Big 12 play. |
7 | Tennessee | -1 It's hard to win on the road and they bounced back with a win @ an underrated Georgia team. |
8 | Baylor | +2 Continuing to win against Big 12 teams gonna make you rise in the poll. |
9 | Auburn | +2 This team is a little underrated in my opinion, this is a very good Auburn team and will be right up there competing for an SEC title. |
10 | North Carolina | +2 Great start to ACC play, they have looked like genuine contenders. |
11 | Marquette | -4 They are struggling, if they continue to lose I will have to knock them really far down. |
12 | Memphis | +4 This team is going to win the American with ease I think, can't wait for them to play FAU. |
13 | San Diego State | -4 Losing @NM isn't as bad as it looks, very hard place to play. |
14 | Duke | +6 They have improved quite a bit as the season as progressed, I think we are back to Duke and UNC fighting for the top spot in the ACC. |
15 | Oklahoma | +2 This movement doesn't make much sense I know, but I think this Oklahoma team is still a top 15 team. |
16 | BYU | -1 The metric darling, gonna hang them around right here for now until we see more of them in Big 12 play. |
17 | Illinois | -3 Not a good loss to a below average Maryland team, but I liked their fight against Purdue so I won't drop them too far. |
18 | Dayton | +1 Sneaky good Dayton team, but that A10 schedule won't really help them move up too much. |
19 | TCU | NR 2 wins against top teams catapults you into my top 20, fantastic week for the Horned Frogs. |
20 | Kentucky | -2 Unfortunate loss to a good Texas A&M team, this team is still trying to decide if they are elite or not. |
21 | Clemson | -8 Only 1 loss this week, but they are not playing how they did to start the year, they need to get back on track. |
22 | Creighton | +1 Struggle win vs an improving St. Johns team, but this team is still a threat in the Big East. |
23 | Texas Tech | +2 Continuing to figure out wins in the strong Big 12, if they continue to perform they will find themselves shooting up in the ranks. |
24 | Utah State | NR They haven't lost since their first D1 game of the season, they deserve to make their way in here. |
25 | Alabama | NR Maybe a little bias here, but this team has had a great start to conference play and I'm not sure there are 25 teams better than them. |
Dropped Out: Utah(21) Colorado State(22) Nevada(24) This week seemed very hard to me, so many teams losing it was hard to figure out how far some teams should drop or if they should drop at all with everyone around them losing.
