Overall Rationale
Very tough poll. Creighton and Arkansas are out of place but I have no clue where else to put them but their positioning will be resolved over the coming week with the Maui Jim Maui tourney . Lots of teams with losses already that are still "good" so to speak. Lots of shuffling up front. Virginia gets number one for being undefeated and winning the Continental Tire Event with impressive wins over very good teams. Houston slips slightly due to their mostly solid but still flawed victory over Oregon. Lots more clarity will arrive with many major tournaments happening over christmas but this week has definitely been something special. Shoutout to Sam Houston for two victories over two power 5 opponents on their resume now so they get a 25th place vote from me this week.
