Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Houston | Made it an easy choice this week. |
2 | Purdue | |
3 | UConn | |
4 | Kansas | Very little separation from here to #9. I'll reward the team that has a winning record against the top ten including 3-0 against my top 5. |
5 | Tennessee | |
6 | Marquette | |
7 | North Carolina | |
8 | Arizona | |
9 | Iowa State | |
10 | Auburn | |
11 | Alabama | |
12 | Saint Mary's | This is a very generous ranking, but they are arguably the hottest team in the country. |
13 | Creighton | I was going to make a comment about Dollar Beer Night being OP, but for some reason they did it against Georgetown instead of UConn. Lame. |
14 | Duke | |
15 | Illinois | Another big drop off after this spot. |
16 | South Carolina | |
17 | Baylor | |
18 | Utah State | |
19 | Washington State | I guess Tempe is a tougher place to play than Tucson. |
20 | Dayton | |
21 | San Diego State | |
22 | Wisconsin | |
23 | Florida | The Alabama loss was arguably the best losing effort of the week. |
24 | Clemson | |
25 | South Florida | Same as Saint Mary's. |
