RankTeamReason
1 University of Michigan Logo Michigan I can't imagine I'll be the only one doing this. Resume is strong, defense looks like an NBA team with their rotations, offense clicking.
2 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Had them here last week. Defense is elite as heck, and offense will improve.
3 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Have a case for number 1, but haven't had any real challenge yet. Michigan game will be hype and a real test.
4 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State There's a ton of teams with arguments to get ranked this week
5 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga and some of the blue bloods have slipped- but based on talent and whatnot, will remain ranked
6 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland but for now, they do not look like top 10 teams
7 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina honestly, there aren't many teams that do
8 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I have no doubt that duke and kentucky will be formidable come tourney time
9 University of Oregon Logo Oregon I was quite impressed by the top 4 at b4a: Michigan, Gonzaga, UNC, Oregon
10 University of Arizona Logo Arizona All 4, in my mind, are Final Four contenders.
11 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky I don't think I put any hot take new teams in here, but maybe some of the order is weird
12 Duke University Logo Duke Definitely a tough week- lots of good, not great teams.
13 Auburn University Logo Auburn and records and resumes really just blur together at this point in the year
14 University of Memphis Logo Memphis I Initially had Stanford ranked, but slowly added teams and kept pushing them back
15 University of Dayton Logo Dayton They are just on the outside
16 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Michigan State is wholly unimpressive right now. Classic Izzo stuff, but that Virginia Tech loss was bad
17 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall Didn't look great against ISU, but still won. That sells me. That was a team that looks good offensively.
18 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State
19 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State
20 Butler University Logo Butler
21 University of Colorado Logo Colorado
22 Florida State University Logo Florida State Probably have an argument to be higher but that pitt loss.
23 University of Washington Logo Washington
24 Baylor University Logo Baylor
25 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Honorable mentions: stanford, arkansas, depaul, Indiana, xavier, penn st
