5. Gonzaga Bulldogs: 14-0

I think that the Gonzaga Bulldogs are going to jump over Duke and Louisville this week because of the Cards’ and Blue Devils’ losses. They are currently 14-0 and have taken care of the easy slate of opponent in 2016.

They do have two wins over ranked opponents so far in 2016 (Iowa State and Arizona), which makes their NCAA tournament resume look even stronger.

As we speak right now, the Bulldogs only have two ranked games left of their schedule. To be more specific, they play #19 Saint Mary’s twice.

Look for Gonzaga to stay inside the top ten for the rest of 2016-2017.
