Overall Rationale
Dropped out: #21 Creighton, #25 UCLA. Creighton got smacked by Gonzaga and they need to figure some things out they have looked sloppy so far. UCLA looked better than they have against Arizona and are still among the top just outside of the top 25. I was sick for most of the week so I did not get to watch as many games as I would have liked or if I did watch them I didn't watch them for long enough. The top couple of teams all have cases to be the #1 team for various different reasons. USC, Baylor and Wisconsin I have no clue where to put each team as they haven't played anyone except Baylor has played Washington.
