| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Louisville
|
+2 | The first 9 are extremely close, Louisville looks most consistent for now. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
+3 | I was really close to putting Kansas at number 1. Louisville having a very small edge. |
| 3 |
Ohio State
|
+4 | A win against North Carolina will be a strong case for number 1. |
| 4 |
Gonzaga
|
+0 | Their games against Oregon and Michigan showed weaknesses, they can still beat any team on a good day. |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
+1 | I'm very conflicted. I'd be very curious to see them play against a top 10 team. |
| 6 |
Michigan
|
NR | Did insanely well against tough opponents. |
| 7 |
Maryland
|
+4 | I'll admit; I undervalued Maryland. |
| 8 |
Oregon
|
+0 | The top 9 is really close. I feel bad for Oregon, but Maryland just looks a little more flexible. |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
+2 | Very hyped to see them play Ohio State |
| 10 |
Duke
|
-9 | Haven't looked convincing for 3 games, including the terrible loss against SFA. |
| 11 |
Seton Hall
|
-2 | Still underrated, but overtaken by North Carolina and Maryland. |
| 12 |
Auburn
|
+2 |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
-1 | Recent games aren't convincing, giving them the benefit of the doubt. |
| 14 |
San Diego State
|
NR | Are playing very well against decent teams, I'm very hyped for this team. |
| 15 |
Michigan State
|
-13 | Looking terrible. Should step up if they want to remain within the top 20. |

Dayton
|
NR |
