Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Houston | Back on a roll + back on top |
2 | Alabama | Got scary vs Auburn but pulled it off to maintain the spot |
3 | Kansas | Look really tough to beat. Would pick them over Purdue so #3 it is. |
4 | Purdue | Have had them at #1 but they are not dynamic enough. Outside of Edey it is too inconsistent. |
5 | UCLA | Good W @ Oregon, still worry for them vs elite bigs |
6 | Texas | Still looking good but loss to KU keeps them at 6 |
7 | Arizona | Another ugly, ugly, L. I almost dropped them lower |
8 | Baylor | On a nice W streak |
9 | Virginia | Probably should’ve lost to Duke so not gonna move up |
10 | Tennessee | 2 L’s this week, both @ buzzer. Still a good team but gotta bounce back quickly |
11 | Gonzaga | Moving up kinda just be default |
12 | Creighton | Looking legit again |
13 | Miami (FL) | Not all the way bought in but some solid W’s lately |
14 | UConn | Almost pulled another T25 win off in Omaha |
15 | Indiana | Finally got a nice win on the road |
16 | Marquette | Blowout L to UConn was fairly concerning |
17 | Kansas State | Can’t lose to Tex Tech but not dropping too far |
18 | Saint Mary's | Pretty bad L but I’m sure they’ll bounce back |
19 | San Diego State | Still chugging along |
20 | Iowa State | 2 not so great performances, gotta get back into W column |
21 | Nevada | My surprise pick, really really impressed with their offense |
22 | Pitt | What a turnaround. Hope they get ranked |
23 | Xavier | Not that impressive honestly |
24 | Northwestern | THEYRE FOR REAL! |
25 | Florida Atlantic | Kinda just put ‘em cause of the 2 losses but haven’t been blown away by them |
Just missed: Missouri, TCU, Memphis, Charleston
