| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auburn | |
| 2 | Duke | Not sure what more it would take for the H2H over Auburn to be the key factor...but as long as Auburn doesn't drop another game, it must remain this way... |
| 3 | Houston | |
| 4 | Iowa State | Not sure is Houston is REALLY better than Iowa State...but ergo, the rules of momentum must guide me here... |
| 5 | Alabama | |
| 6 | Florida | |
| 7 | Tennessee | |
| 8 | Marquette | |
| 9 | Kansas | |
| 10 | Michigan State | |
| 11 | Kentucky | |
| 12 | Purdue | |
| 13 | Texas Tech | Gosh...I never really gave these guys the respect they've earned now, did I? |
| 14 | Wisconsin | |
| 15 | UConn | |
| 16 | Oregon | |
| 17 | Texas A&M | |
| 18 | St. John's | Ergo, I haven't really given St. John's the time of day on my poll either...whoops... |
| 19 | Memphis | Honestly, I doubt that they are REALLY that better than Gonzaga...but when you win and the other guy loses, perhaps a leapfrog is in order (and besides we need some change anyway lol) |
| 20 | Gonzaga | |
| 21 | Creighton | |
| 22 | Missouri | Hey, it's my birthday - I get to be a bit biased today, no? |
| 23 | Mississippi State | |
| 24 | Illinois | Hey, it's still my birthday - I remain able to be a bit biased today, no? |
| 25 | Ole Miss |
Every five teams makes up one tier, for a total of five tiers...and God, all these upsets, while fun, makes the process of reranking much more tricky, ah?
