We’ll start adding NET and RPI rankings once there are enough data points.
18. Georgia Tech (2-2)
Last Week: N/A
This wasn’t how Damon Stoudamire’s second season was supposed to start. The Jackets already have two ugly home losses on their resume to North Florida and UGA. They get a really good Cincinnati team on Saturday. A win there could help turn things around.
17. Virginia Tech (2-1)
Last Week: N/A
Virginia Tech was boat raced by 22 against Penn State in their last game. Jacksonville is on the 20th.
16. California (2-1)
Last Week: N/A
Cal got blown out by Vanderbilt 85-69 this week. USC and Air Force are this week.
15. Boston College (2-1)
Last Week: N/A
Boston College’s lone loss was a 25 point defeat to VCU. They did follow it up with a decent win over Temple. Loyal Maryland and Old Dominion are ahead this week.
14. Florida State (3-1)
Last Week: N/A
FSU’s only game against a quality opponent is 13 point home loss to Florida. Hofstra, Temple and UMass are this week.
13. SMU (3-1)
Last Week: N/A
SMU has a similar resume to to FSU, just one quality (Butler) with a double digit loss. Prairie View is this week, but also Mississippi State which is a chance to open eyes.
12. Louisville (1-1)
Last Week: N/A
Louisville’s rebuilding project is going to take time. Tennessee trounced them at Louisville. Bellarmine and Winthrop are up ahead.
11. Clemson (3-1)
Last Week: N/A
The loss at Boise State exposed a lot of defensive issues. Radford is this week.
10. Wake Forest (3-1)
Last week: N/A
Wake Forest is the highest ranked of the 1 loss team due to the strength of a win over Michigan, but there’s also a 15 point loss to Xavier. Western Carolina and Detroit are this week.
9. Syracuse (3-0)
Last Week: N/A
Syracuse could easily be 0-3, but avoiding a loss counts for something. Texas likely brings that to an end this week.
8. Stanford (4-0)
Last Week: N/A
Stanford has 4 wins all by blowout. Norfolk State and Santa Clara are this week. There’s a chance to get to 6-0 this week.
7. Miami (3-0)
Last Week: N/A
The game at Drake could be interesting, as the Canes so far have taken care of business.
6. NC State (3-0)
Last week: N/A
Colgate and William & Mary this week should NC State to 5-0.
5. Notre Dame (3-0)
Last Week : N/A
Notre Dame has a great chance to get to 5-0 with North Dakota and Elon this week. They do have a Big East win over Georgetown.
4. Virginia (4-0)
Last Week: N/A
Virginia cruised against a Villanova team that’s flawed but has some talent. That’s good enough to fly you up this list. Tennessee will be a massive test.
3. Pittsburgh (4-0)
Last Week: N/A
Pittsburgh has blown out everyone they have played including West Virginia. Maybe they should be ranked #1 on this list all things considered.
2. Duke (3-1)
Last Week: N/A
Duke is clearly very talented and Cooper Flagg is probably the best freshman in the country, but the finish against Kentucky is a big concern. Jon Scheyer did a shaky job of coaching, and the moment was too big for Flagg who made multiple mistakes late. He’ll learn from it. Arizona is another test this week.
1. UNC (2-1)
Last Week: N/A
UNC’s second half at Kansas was a thing of beauty, but unfortunately, they couldn’t close the deal. No shame in that kind of loss. A game with Hawaii is this week.
