Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Purdue | Clear cut #1. Winning Maui is no small feat |
2 | Arizona | Had to keep them above Marquette simply bc they're undefeated |
3 | Marquette | 2a Arizona, 2b Marquette. Feel funny having the #2 team with a loss before December |
4 | UConn | Dan Hurley is doing the damn thing |
5 | Kansas | What even is a Hunter Dickinson? |
6 | Duke | I said it last year, I'll say it again this year; Jon Scheyer looks like Freddie Prinze Jr. |
7 | Houston | Winning the fight for Texas |
8 | Baylor | Why are they keeping Dave Aranda? |
9 | Miami (FL) | Hey another week with 0 losses |
10 | Gonzaga | They were not expected to win Maui, but they held their own |
11 | Creighton | Such a weird team to rank. Fluke loss? Should have kept it closer but maybe Kalk has mono or whatever again |
12 | Florida Atlantic | I have no clue how they lost to Bryant. This team has Final Four potential yet again |
13 | Texas | Shoutout LongHorn Network |
14 | Texas A&M | 2nd half against ISU was insanely good |
15 | Kentucky | Beat Miami and I will take you seriously |
16 | Tennessee | I don't know man. I plead the fifth |
17 | Villanova | Fully back. Good for Kyle Neptune |
18 | North Carolina | Has a team ever more looked like the 18th ranked team than this one? |
19 | BYU | I was unfair to them last week. They deserve to be ranked, and even more so, ahead of the Aztecs |
20 | San Diego State | 20 just feels right |
21 | Memphis | A LOT better than I thought they'd be. FAU-Memphis will be a treat in the AAC |
22 | James Madison | Hate to tell y'all, I'm going to keep them here if they keep winning games |
23 | Alabama | Not sure how I feel about them, but they do feel like a top 25 team |
24 | Princeton | Winning away from home this early is so damn impressive |
25 | Oklahoma | They're undefeated and beat some decent P5 teams. Long live Brady Manek |
