13. Georgia

NET: 24
KenPom: 39

The Bulldogs have taken care of business for the schedule that was given them with wins over Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and St. John's. St. John's was the only team ranked from that group at the time, but all of those were decent wins. They have three games before conference play, none of them particularly hard, but this team looks like one that could be tripped up.

14. Vanderbilt

AP: NR
NET: 40
KenPom: 57

The Commodores have played no one good and even lost to one of those teams, Drake. That may be their only loss, and that's why they are at 14, but it's still been a cupcake schedule, and they have slept-walked through it.
