Week 10

Rank School Record Change Our reasoning
6 Loyola University Chicago 12-3 3 Loyola isn't just beating teams. The Ramblers are demolishing them. Thanks to five straight wins by an aaverage of 23 points per game, they are up to 21 overall in KenPom.
13 Drake 13-0 1 Hi, I'm a national sportswriter and I think it's hilarious when I refer to Drake as "The Drake." This is a reference to the popular sitcom, Seinfeld, which you've probably never heard of because you're not as cool as I am.

Also receiving votes: UC Santa Barbara, Missouri State, Liberty, Colgate, Louisiana Tech.
