With just a couple of weeks remaining in the regular season, we had one of our wildest days of the 2019-20 season on Saturday. Several of the country’s highest-ranked teams went down, opening the door for a major NCAA Tournament seeding shakeup.
Three of the nation’s top four teams lost on Saturday, as No. 1 Baylor lost to No. 3 Kansas, No. 2 Gonzaga fell to No. 23 BYU and No. 4 San Diego State fell to unranked UNLV. This all comes a couple of days after No. 6 Duke was blown out by N.C. State.
ESPN’s Basketball Power Index has updated following Saturday’s crazy slate of games. Coach K’s team remains the No. 1 team in the country, according to the computer model.
Here’s the full top 25:
- Duke
- Kansas
- Gonzaga
- Michigan State
- Baylor
- San Diego State
- Louisville
- Arizona
- Dayton
- Maryland
- West Virginia
- Ohio State
- Texas Tech
- Michigan
- Florida State
- Houston
- Villanova
- Penn State
- BYU
- Oregon
- Purdue
- Seton Hall
- Kentucky
- Iowa
- Wisconsin
We’re now less than a month away from Selection Sunday. There could be some turnover on the No. 1 seed line thanks to Saturday’s upsets.
Maryland, the No. 7 team in the country, could move up to the top line. The Terrapins need to win at Ohio State today in order to make that happen, though.
