Overall Rationale
Dropped: 20 Memphis, 22 Alabama, 24 Nevada, 25 BYU. Also considered: Florida Atlantic, Princeton, Seton Hall, Alabama, BYU, Georgia, Grand Canyon, NC State, James Madison, Gonzaga, South Carolina, Wake Forest, Mississippi State, McNeese, Samford, Indiana State, Drake, Texas, SMU, Michigan State. Notes: The Big 12 adds Cincinnati, Houston, and BYU to its annual cannibalism fest, Marquette is the hardest team to rank I have ever seen, and Memphis is fraudulent.
