He has us at 12 and has a nice write up.
Analysis: It’s a close call for No. 1 between Kansas, Houston and Purdue. Truth is, there is no clear No. 1 right now. Kansas gets the nod because of six Quad 1 victories, most of the group. Purdue takes a slight back seat to Houston after suffering a home loss (Houston’s lone loss is to Alabama on a neutral). We’re splitting hairs here but that’s what you have to do…Xavier is a big winner, rising seven spots after winning at Villanova, and the Big East is a big winner in general this week, with a season-high four squads projected to make the poll…Iowa State is another big winner, leaping 13 spots after wins over Oklahoma State and TCU in a loaded Big 12.
By conference: Big 12 (5), SEC (5), Big East (4), Big Ten (3), ACC (2), Pac-12 (2), American (1), Colonial (1), Mountain West (1), West Coast (1).
