An argument could be made either way, I think.
Georgetown
Temple - won by 1 at home
Butler - won by 7 neutral
Washington - won by 8 neutral
Old Dominion - lost by 4 at home
Michigan State
Gonzaga - won by 4 at home
Florida - lost by 3 nuetral
UNC - lost by 7 on the road
Texas - lost by 7 on the road
Utah - won by 19 at home
UNC
Ohio State - won by 4 neutral
Syracuse - lost by 16 neutral
Michigan State - won by 7 at home
Kentucky - lost by 2 on the road
Texas - lost by 13 neutral (road?)
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your basic point, but FWIW the wins over Butler & Washington were more dominating than the scores. Those games weren't in doubt and were led by wider margins before garbage time. OTOH, the Temple win was a genuine squeaker that GU was very lucky to win, and the ODU loss was embarrassingly awful. I think the Hoyas' ranking is about right for now and will probably drop some once teams start beating each other up in the Big East - at Marquette Wednesday night will be tough, for example, and UConn Saturday will be even tougher.
