Overall Rationale
DROPPED: Missouri (19), Kansas (22), St. John's (23), N.C. State (24) // Mid-Major Shoutout of the Week: Cal Baptist! Not many teams can go into Irvine and walk out with a victory. Even if UC Irvine isn't even close to as good as they have been the past two years, the Lancers winning this game should be a huge boost of confidence for their last year in the WAC and could maybe even be a look to how competitive they can be in the Big West next year. /// Despite the loss, I do think Arkansas is still a Top 25 team in the country. UNC misses out on my top 25 because, while the win over Kansas was impressive, I am not sure UNC is a Top 25 team with Seth Trimble out. I have them as the first team out mostly out of recognition for the win on Friday.
