To answer your questions, Kasak placed third last year after winning the Big10 and was third as a freshman at 149 the previous year. He was ranked 2nd preseason this year behind the defending champ before he was displaced by Duke as the starter. Since Taylor has taken several early losses this year and Duke continues to move up, these results make a good case for the top 1 and 2. As far as #3 goes, Sealey is also making a good case so for to be considered.
