2/23 Oracle/ITA Men’s Rankings Release

The first computer rankings of the year are out with the ACC occupying three of the top five spots. North Carolina is sitting pretty comfortably at #1 with a nine point lead over #2 Virginia though Virginia has an almost eleven point lead over Ohio State.

As a reminder these rankings are based off last week’s rankings, which were done by the rankings committee, so I’d expect to see a lot more shifting next week too. This week the computer used each team’s 4 best wins but for the next 3 weeks it’ll use each team’s 5 best wins.

My projections were good up top but were off a little towards the bottom – I had a couple of spreadsheet errors that through my numbers off plus I made some educated guesses on teams ranked outside the top 75 (Troy, UC Irvine, South Alabama) that ended up being further down than I thought.

There were also a couple of keying errors in the ITA’s computer where 2 teams had keyed a win in as a road win, thus getting the 10% bonus, when in reality it was either a home or neutral site win. Those two mistakes that I found will be corrected by the ITA.

The following teams made double-digit increases versus the last rankings:
#18 Kentucky (29)
#39 Purdue (25)
#21 Penn State (23)
#43 Iowa (23)
#50 Middle Tennessee State (21)
#36 Wisconsin (20)
#30 Rice (19)
#20 Oregon (17)
#28 Michigan (17)
#31 Washington (17)
#53 Utah (16)
#27 UC Santa Barbara (15)
#17 Memphis (11)
#40 Denver (11)

These 10 teams entered the rankings after being unranked
#58 BYU – wins over then #67 Boise State an #69 Utah
#59 Penn – wins over then #40 Dartmouth and #71 Middle Tennessee State
#62 UC Irvine – win over then #54 Old Dominion
#63 Georgia State – win over then #65 Wichita State
#66 Abilene Christian – win over then #58 UC Davis
#69 Western Michigan – win over then #64 Purdue
#72T Portland – win over then #73 Fresno State (dropped out)
#72T Santa Clara win over then #73 Fresno State (dropped out)
#74 South Alabama – win over then #74 Florida Gulf Coast (dropped out)
#75 North Florida – win over then ranked #60 Cornell

Chances are that Portland, Santa Clara, and South Alabama will drop out next week since the good win that got them in isn’t as good any more.


The following teams made double-digit decreases versus the last rankings (still ranked):
#65 San Diego State (27)
#46 Virginia Tech (26)
#34 Baylor (21)
#54 Duke (21)
#41 Florida (18)
#56 Tennessee (17)
#42 Mississippi State (16)
#47 Notre Dame (16)
#57 Georgia Tech (14)
#64 Indiana (14)
#45 Vanderbilt (13)
#52 Princeton (11)
#35 Florida State (10)

These 10 teams dropped out of the rankings with last week’s rankings in ( ):
Minnesota (45)
Pepperdine (52)
Cal Poly (61)
Alabama (62)
Louisville (63)
Utah State (70)

Fresno State (73)
Florida Gulf Coast (74)
