Still the best team in the sport per my money. Dominant win over Texas Tech, the resume is there. Big ups the Boilermakers.
2
Arizona
Best resume in the sport right now. They've got several MONSTERS. 1 of 3 teams with top 10 KP O and D.
3
Duke
The top metric team in the country. Two high major wins, three 100 point games, and no real scares. Massive stretch upcoming though.
4
Houston
They've played one game in the past week and don't yet have a win that moves me. Show me something, Cougars.
5
Gonzaga
A real big test tomorrow night, but they've met the moment so far this season. Six or seven dawgs who will give you 10 pts a night or more.
6
Louisville
The potent offense had their weakest offensive game of the season against Cincy, but they survived. Two buy games before a scary December. Like what I'm seeing
7
UConn
This is the team that beat BYU. You can't take that from them. But they got messed around in the paint against 'Zona. We'll see what they really are here soon.
8
Iowa State
Again, a really, really good defense. Tamin Lipsey is a playmaking bucket.
9
Alabama
Respect to the Tide for playing games that matter. They've been in the mix in all of them, and have more to come.
10
BYU
Resounding win over Wisconsin should make people forget their one loss ever happened.
11
Michigan
Once again unmoved by what I've been shown on screen and paper. They have taken care of business, but I'm waiting to be wowed.
12
Michigan State
Feels like there's a consensus sleeping on this Spartan team. Two very, very good wins and a top-10 defense to boot.
13
Florida
Again, eye test is there, but the wins are against Florida State and Miami. Really, really wanna see something before I buy in.
14
Illinois
Sure, Bama got them, but they've looked solid outside. A metric darling of an offense.
15
North Carolina
Am I overvaluing the Kansas win, almost certainly. But Caleb Wilson is playing well and they've done what they need to do in the "gimme" games.
16
St. John's
Nothing they've done has me supremely confident in their ability, but I do think eventually whatever hasn't clicked, will.
17
Saint Mary's
THE GAELS. The defense continues to be a highlight, but more impressive is the Mikey Lewis is scoring 20 points off 50/50!/90
18
Vanderbilt
Who had Vanderbilt as the best offense in the country? Not me. But I'm here for it.
19
UCLA
Played their guts out against Arizona. Been really solid in the games outside of it.
20
Tennessee
Taking care of what's important. Pretty solid degense as wekk.
21
Nebraska
We don't talk about the second half against K State. Deal?
22
Indiana
Team chem is there. DeVries looks good, things are shaping up.
23
Santa Clara
One of the better resumes in the sport. Haven't allowed a team to score 70 outside of the Nevada game. Four bid WCC please.
24
Kentucky
You've gotta win one of the two losses they've taken to feel like Kentucky is in a good spot. They didn't.
25
Texas Tech
The two losses have come against a murder's row. The Purdue loss looked bad, but there's enough there to feel okay about em.
