Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Purdue | First #1 team ever with a transitive loss to Chicago State |
2 | Arizona | I don't think that loss changes anyone's opinion of the Cats |
3 | Kansas | This team is 4-6 ATS. Playing down to competition? |
4 | UConn | Too recent to completely disregard H2H |
5 | Houston | 7/11 games against Quad 4 teams and only road game is @ Xavier. Not enough for me, yet |
6 | Marquette | So clearly the #6 team |
7 | Tennessee | A 3-loss team at #7 hurts, but everyone in front of them lost, and their resume backs it up |
8 | Kentucky | They just beat UNC |
9 | North Carolina | They've lost 2 straight and haven't dropped. They better be sending out some Christmas cards |
10 | Creighton | I NEED them to be more consistent. If you can beat Alabama, you can beat literally anyone in the MWC |
11 | Illinois | Win over the Owls |
12 | Florida Atlantic | I think they'd be favored by 5.5 against OU on a neutral court |
13 | Oklahoma | Yet to play a road game and best win is Arkansas ?, Iowa ? |
14 | Baylor | Woof |
15 | Clemson | Memphis is good. #2 in KPI and #3 SOR. Basketball school? |
16 | James Madison | Really wish my favorite team would just simply win every game |
17 | Memphis | Emphasis on Memphasis |
18 | Wisconsin | Can't spell Greg Gard without 'rad egg' |
19 | Gonzaga | Simultaneously no bad losses and no good wins. Just vibes in Spokane |
20 | BYU | 9-2 ATS means they're taking care of their own business |
21 | Colorado State | Beat Creighton and Colorado and Washington |
22 | Duke | Had Baylor walloped MSU, Duke probably would've dropped out |
23 | Indiana State | 14th in the NET, which is undoubtedly a fantastic way to judge teams |
24 | Texas | 7/8 wins are Quad 4. Pitiful scheduling |
25 | Ole Miss | Maybe hypocritical to rank them behind Memphis, but I do not have a ton of faith here |
