My Weekly CBB Top 25

[Bank Shot Podcast]

It's obvious that the correct answer includes:
1) Auburn
2) Alabama
3) Marquette
4) Texas A&M
5) Ole Miss

Maybe Yale will go on a tear for the rest of the year.

On a serious note, the SEC looks really really good. Will be interesting to see how the conference schedule shakes out for teams. Big Ten looking like maybe a 9 bid league with a lot of middle to low seeded teams. SEC looks like a 14 bid league(if it ended today). Some teams gotta lose so it'll move closer to a 10 bid league.

Big Ten is 8-10 vs the SEC. Oregon, Ohio St. and Purdue has 2 wins each. Illinois beat a so so Arkansas and Indiana beat lowly South Carolina at home. Illinois, Michigan, Rutgers, Purdue and Ohio St have 2 losses apiece.

Yup. And overall as a conference, the SEC has just 22 losses. The Big Ten has 53 losses. Big 12 isn't close either and the ACC is awful. Big 12 at 47 losses and the ACC at 75. Big East a 48 with just 11 teams.

I’ve only watched a few patches of Michigan State games. Do you think they’re legitimately top 15 good? I don’t disagree with your ranking, they deserve to be there, just curious as to whether you think they’re likely to stay there over the long haul.

The way they are playing right now? I think so. Outside shooting has been their bugaboo the past few seasons. For now, that seems to be trending in the right direction. Couple that with Fears growing into a solid and consistent floor general as a sophomore, and Carr has really taken off recently (both literally and figuratively 😂)

Michigan really needs to be in the top25. Not a believer in either Utah State or San Diego St. West Virginia too high.

I had the same thought regarding SDSU. Nice win versus Houston at home, not sure they have much beyond that. Given that he has Houston outside of his top 25 I’m not sure how he has SDSU in and Gonzaga out.

I just looked up big ten three point shooting, is it accurate that MSU is last in the conference?

Yeah, but they started off insanely slow and have been pretty good the last month.

 

[Bank Shot Podcast]

Gonzaga has dropped 4 games now. To good teams, but you're not gonna convince me you belong in the Top 25 as of right now at 8-4. Same goes for Purdue. Do I believe Gonzaga, Purdue or even Houston are Top 25 type teams? Absolutely. They just have to win their way back in. SDSU is a pretty good team. I don't think there is a wrong choice at 25 between SDSU, Michigan, Illinois, Houston, Gonzaga and others. It's a pretty tight area when you're sitting around there. Makes for a fun year.

Agree that it’s probably splitting hairs. I just don’t see how you put a three loss SDSU team in if you’re excluding the four loss Gonzaga team that beat them.

So because a team loses to another, they should automatically be behind them? I mean if SDSU loses a game this week, which is possible as they play at Boise State, then they'll drop. Or if someone behind is just much more impressive. Like if Illinois were to win at Oregon for example.

Not really any actual analysis just throwing darts

Is that really what you took from that exchange?

You stated that you can’t include Gonzaga because they have four losses. Fine. I completely disagree but you can rank however you want. What I don’t understand is how you then include SDSU with three losses when Gonzaga is objectively better than SDSU by every measure in addition to beating them head to head.
