| 25 | Sam Houston | Undefeated with a win over OU, who is also otherwise undefeated. 10th in Torvik when you filter out preseason bias. Can't hardly not rank them at this point |
UNC's resume is bad and they've looked awful beating inferior teams. They're like 50th in Torvik w/o the preseason bias. They can be ranked again when they beat somebody. At least Kentucky has OK metrics and Duke has a win over Xavier, but they don't look great either.
