Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | UConn | (-) Made Creighton look garbage |
2 | Purdue | (-) Dominant week for the Boilermakers |
3 | North Carolina | (-) Keeps winning |
4 | Houston | (+1) Suffocating defense, pretty bad offense. No way they held UCF to 15% from the field. |
5 | Auburn | (+4) They look unstoppable |
6 | Kentucky | (+1) Wildcats have the infinity gauntlet of Freshman |
7 | Tennessee | (+3) Dalton is an All-American |
8 | Arizona | (+4) Escaped UCLA but remain easily the best team in the PAC |
9 | Kansas | (-6) Make that 2 embarrasing losses for the Jayhawks |
10 | Marquette | (+5) This feels WAY too high but a lot of teams above them lost bad games |
11 | Illinois | (+8) TSJ back could be the spark they need (even if it's questionable he's even on the court) |
12 | Oklahoma | (+8) keep winning |
13 | Duke | (-5) Blake Hinson will go down as one of the most badass guys for what he did at Cameron Indoor |
14 | Creighton | (+3) Looked really bad against UConn, looked solid against Seton Hall. This team is confusing. |
15 | Dayton | (+6) Best Mid-Major |
16 | Baylor | (-2) Lost twice but neither were bad losses. Big 12 has plenty of opportunities for them to come right back. |
17 | Wisconsin | (-4) Really bad loss @ Penn State but turned it around against IU. |
18 | Memphis | (-12) 2 losses by a combined 3 points but absolutely no excuse for the USF implosion. Tigers headed in the wrong direction. |
19 | Utah State | (-3) New Mexico new hardest place to play? |
20 | Texas Tech | (+4) Another inconsistent team |
21 | Seton Hall | (+2) Played 2 really good games this week, took Creighton to 3OT |
22 | BYU | (NR) Killed Iowa State, then didn't look great against TT |
23 | New Mexico | (NR) The Lobos are HOT |
24 | Iowa State | (-2) I swear every Big 12 team went 1-1 this week |
25 | Colorado State | (NR) Welcome back CSU |
Every team in the country is incredibly inconsistent, this gets harder and harder every week / Dropped Out: (14) TCU, (18) Clemson, (25) San Diego State / In Consideration (no order): TCU, Boise State, Kansas State, San Diego State, Clemson, Drake
