+1 I picked you guys to win the title in the preseason so make this third chance count... third time's the charm?
2
Alabama
-1 I still don't think anyone else is better than them at this time. Only team with a harder schedule is Kansas, who has a worse record.
3
Kansas
+5 Two quality wins to put their Q1 record at 13-5.
4
UCLA
+1 Two solid wins and are quietly lining up for that last 1-seed.
5
Purdue
-2 Another headscratching performance for Purdue. Best 2-seed of all time?
6
Virginia
0 Beating Louisville and Notre Dame by 5 total points didn't warrant a jump over Purdue. Still an elite team.
7
Texas
-3 I'm proud of the Horns for bouncing back from their coach so well. You guys are gonna be fine.
8
Arizona
+1 Absolute dismantling of Utah to avenge their earlier loss. Arizona isn't as overpowered as last year but they are scary.
9
Marquette
+1 Xavier is a good win but Arizona has the better team in my opinion.
10
Baylor
-3 honestly they're here to keep the Marquette>Baylor>Gonzaga chain
11
Gonzaga
0
12
Tennessee
0 The loss to Kentucky doesn't necessarily override the double-digit win over #1 but it does equal it out when nobody else lost badly in front of them.
13
Saint Mary's
+1
14
San Diego State
+5 They are benefitting from others losing and quietly putting together a strong resume.
15
Miami (FL)
I underranked them last week.
16
Indiana
-3
17
Kansas State
-2
18
Xavier
-2
19
Northwestern
+4 Metrics don't like them but they have several good wins.
20
Providence
NR I have no idea how I didn't rank them
21
Creighton
-3
22
Boise State
NR another MWC rep
23
UConn
NR I punished them for the Creighton loss but Creighton is looking better than ever and Seton Hall isn't a terrible win either.
