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: 2
3 Duke University Logo Duke LW: 3
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia LW: 4
5 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin LW: 5
6 Villanova University Logo Villanova LW: 6
7 University of Arizona Logo Arizona LW: 10, +3. Last week, I was a bit too hard on Zona and Kansas for their losses, so I corrected it this week
8 University of Kansas Logo Kansas LW: 13, +5
9 University of Utah Logo Utah LW: 7, -2.
10 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa LW: 8, -2.
11 University of Louisville Logo Louisville LW: 11
12 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame LW: 12
13 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State LW: 9, -4. Had them way too high last week
14 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma LW: 15, +1. The loss to K-State on the road is balanced out by the Iowa St win, plus people below looked bad
15 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State LW: N/A, +11. Maybe I'm being reactionary, but they've been borderline ranked for a while, and I think they're coming into form
16 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State LW: 14, -2. Loss to Oklahoma swaps their positions
17 Butler University Logo Butler LW: 18, +1. They barely lost to the number six team, that deserves a boost in my book
18 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois LW: 24, +6. Illinois has been very strong recently, and they played the best for a half against Wisconsin as any B1G team so far
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia LW: 19. They got clobbered by Iowa State, but with the way the Big 12 is, that's not too bad
20 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina LW: 17, -3. Getting clocked by a down Pitt is never a good thing
21 Baylor University Logo Baylor LW: 16, -5. Yes, the Big 12 is tough, but losing two in a row with one at home is rough
22 Oklahoma State University Logo Oklahoma State LW: 20, -2. Beating Baylor at home? Good. Losing to TCU? Bad.
23 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland LW: 25, +2. They may have lost quite a bit recently, but they do still only have 5 losses.
24 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU LW: 22, -2. The fact they lost to LaSalle is slightly lessened by the fact it went to OT
25 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State LW: 21, -4. Losing to Michigan State hurts, because the win could've vaulted them up a lot
