Overall Rationale
God forbid these rankings get easier amirite. Outside of the top 3, which is its own debate, the polls keep fluctuating and I stay stumped on how to rank. I'm high on Baylor, Arizona, Texas, Marquette, Gonzaga, Miami, Tennessee, Xavier, Saint Mary's, Indiana, and Texas A&M. I am low on Iowa State, TCU, UConn, Providence, and NC State, and Northwestern. Cheers to another week of chaos and confusion (in all likelihood)!
