With this lull of no games tonight. How would you rank the teams?

 

[LoTrader]

As of today:

1. Notre Dame
2. Baylor
3. Louisville
4. UConn
5. Oregon
6. Stanford
7. Mississippi State
8. NC State
9. Gonzaga
10. Oregon State
11. Syracuse
12. Maryland
13. Marquette
14. South Carolina
15. Texas
16. Kentucky

If you'd asked me just two weeks ago, I would've never had South Carolina and Texas in the top 16. But they are undoubtedly trending up, whereas other teams (e.g., Kentucky, Michigan State, Iowa, Arizona State) that I would've ranked ahead of them have dropped games to unranked teams.

Well it appears that Texas is trending down again as they just dropped a game to unranked Kansas St by 16 points.

There's the commentator's curse on the free throw line.
There's also the ranker's curse on the message boards.

Don't be surprised if N.C.state isn't even in the top 16 at the end of the year.
