Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Purdue | Winner of Maui has to be number 1 |
2 | Marquette | Didn’t win Maui but looked impressive as all hell |
3 | Houston | |
4 | Arizona | |
5 | UConn | |
6 | Kansas | Looked not as great in Maui, still top 6 |
7 | Duke | Inertia hath blessed thee |
8 | Baylor | |
9 | Miami (FL) | |
10 | Colorado State | Going from unranked to top ten is aggressive but anytime an undefeated team waxes a top ten team by 20, they deserve attention |
11 | Tennessee | Same goes for Tennessee, had them here last week |
12 | Gonzaga | Doesn’t move up or down after Maui |
13 | Kentucky | |
14 | Texas A&M | |
15 | Villanova | Had one helluva week |
16 | Creighton | |
17 | BYU | |
18 | Florida Atlantic | Good way to show that Bryant was a fluke |
19 | James Madison | |
20 | Mississippi State | Missed the boat on this one |
21 | North Carolina | |
22 | Memphis | Was prepared to launch this team into top 15 before they looked completely lifeless against Nova |
23 | Ohio State | |
24 | Oklahoma | |
25 | Illinois |
Auburn #26, Texas Tech #27, TCU #28, UCLA #29 Very difficult week to rank, so I’m curious to see what everyone else winded up doing.
