Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | +0 Solid win versus UNC to stay ahead of Gonzaga. |
2 | Gonzaga | +1 Hard to ignore their blowout win against Baylor, they looked like the best team in the country. |
3 | Alabama | -1 Nothing they did, Gonzaga just did extremely well this week and jumped them. |
4 | Auburn | +2 Great win basically @Houston, could see the argument for them over Bama. |
5 | Iowa State | +0 |
6 | Houston | -2 Not going to punish a team for losing a close game against a top team, they drop but not much. |
7 | UConn | +0 |
8 | Duke | +0 |
9 | Arizona | +2 Benefitted from teams above them losing, same as Creighton. |
10 | Creighton | +2 |
11 | Tennessee | +4 Destroyed what I think will be a good Louisville team, looked much better than I expected this team to look. |
12 | North Carolina | -2 Same as Houston, not going to punish a team a lot for playing a top team and barely losing. |
13 | Baylor | -4 Baylor was hard for me to place, but that Gonzaga game just left a bad taste in my mouth, even if they did beat Arkansas, so they drop a bit more than some other teams. |
14 | Indiana | +0 |
15 | Purdue | +1 |
16 | Ohio State | NR Great win versus Texas, this team could be good and compete at the top of the big 10. |
17 | Marquette | +2 |
18 | Arkansas | -5 Gonna hit them for that loss to Baylor, my opinion on Baylor was low after the Gonzaga game, then Arkansas went out and lost to them, they need to drop a few. |
19 | Texas Tech | +1 |
20 | Michigan State | +1 |
21 | Mississippi State | +1 |
22 | Rutgers | +1 |
23 | Kentucky | +1 |
24 | Texas | -7 Losing to an unranked team in a season with such a small sample size so far is not good, but Ohio St. could end up being a good team so we will see. |
25 | North Florida | NR They replaced GCU as when I rank a MM team I would like to see them either dominate other MMs or beat P5 teams, GCU struggling against WKU while UNF beats two P5 teams tells me UNF deserves it. |
Dropped Out: Texas A&M(18) Grand Canyon(25)
