RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky LW:1 If a team doesn't have an explanation, they didn't do anything noteworthy, or didn't change position at all, unless someone jumped them
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga LW: 3, +1.
3 Duke University Logo Duke LW: 4, +1. This was a tough choice, but they lost to a top ten team and beat a top 2 on the road
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia LW: 2, -2. Duke just beat them, I couldn't in good faith keep them above Duke
5 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin LW: 5.
6 University of Arizona Logo Arizona LW: 6
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova LW: 7
8 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame LW: 9, +1. Yes, they did lose to Pitt, but I firmly believe their Duke victory outweighs the loss.
9 University of Kansas Logo Kansas LW: 10, +1
10 University of Louisville Logo Louisville LW: 11, +1. Huge comeback win against UNC
11 University of Utah Logo Utah LW: 12, +1
12 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State LW: 14, +2.
13 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 15, +2.
14 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State LW: 8, -6. Getting outshined by UNI hurt the Shockers
15 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 13, -2. Losing to a team ranked above you won't drop you a ton
16 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa LW: 22, +6. What a year for Iowa basketball
17 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma LW: N/A, +9. No idea why they weren't ranked last week for me, must've been oversight
18 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU LW: 16, -2. Losing to Richmond isn't good, but so many people lost below them that they don't drop a ton
19 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State LW: N/A, +7. The Bucks are heating up at the right time
20 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland LW: 17, -3. The Terps are starting to show that the beginning of the season was an anomaly
21 Georgetown University Logo Georgetown LW: 19, -2. They stumbled against Xavier this week, still near the top of the Big East
22 Baylor University Logo Baylor LW: 20, -2. They suffer from playing in (arguably) the toughest conference
23 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State LW: N/A, +3. I just like Steve Fischer, okay?
24 Butler University Logo Butler LW: N/A, +2. They've jumped onto everyone's radar the last couple weeks by showing Brad Stevens wasn't the only key
25 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas LW: 18, -7. They have hit a cold streak in recent weeks
