RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Clearly #1 and still undefeated
2 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Clearly #2, only one loss.
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Moving up after Wisconsin loss
4 Duke University Logo Duke Played very well other than one bad stretch, and beat #2 Virginia
5 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Swept Utah and beat Gonzaga. This gets them over Wisconsin
6 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin No real quality road wins. Thus they fall behind Arizona.
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Gonzaga showed their true colors losing to BYU at home. They still only have two losses, so they stay fairly high.
8 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State Quality win against UNI and only three losses. But it really drops off after #6.
9 University of Northern Iowa Logo Northern Iowa Loss to Wichita State doesn't hurt them that much. Again, it's really starting to drop off now.
10 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Good win against Wisconsin.
11 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Five losses overall in a tough conference.
12 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Good team, but with six losses they can't be any higher.
13 University of Louisville Logo Louisville I expect them to drop with Chris Jones out, but until they lose, they won't.
14 Baylor University Logo Baylor Good win over Iowa State.
15 University of Utah Logo Utah Loss to Arizona won't drop them too much.
16 University of Dayton Logo Dayton Quality A-10 team who could surprise again come March. The A-10 is underrated.
17 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas Loss to Kentucky won't hurt them too much.
18 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU They lost to UConn, but they're still a very good team.
19 Murray State University Logo Murray State Only four losses so far and playing very well, but with their SOS, they can't be any higher.
20 Stephen F. Austin State University Logo Stephen F. Austin 24-4. Two of those losses were to Top 15 teams and one was to Xavier. Won @Memphis, took UNI to OT before losing by two.
21 Davidson College Logo Davidson Again, the A-10 is underrated and Davidson only has six losses. They beat Dayton and narrowly lost @VCU.
22 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Loss to Baylor drops them.
23 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Bad week almost drops the Cyclones out of the Top 25.
24 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M A&M is the third-best team in the SEC and took Kentucky to the limit. They could win in a rematch.
25 Butler University Logo Butler Bulldogs climb into the top 25, barely, thanks to a lot of low-ranked teams losing.
