1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (LW 2) lol I lied. Looking good early on
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova (LW 3) Looking good against the early season crappy opponents, which is apparently a big accomplishment this year
3 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (LW 9) Can't expect that out of Denzel weekly, but damn that was a nice comeback late
4 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland (LW 1) Well, at least you were #1 in someone's poll, Maryland.
5 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State (LW 7) I think that Colorado win will turn out to be a decent OOC scalp
6 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma (LW 10) Same as above, except with Memphis.
7 University of Arizona Logo Arizona (LW 8) Olympus has risen
8 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (LW 6) All things told, it wasn't that embarrassing a loss. A shocking amount of offense, too
9 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (LW 5) Not a great way to end that game, but really JUST MAKE A DECISION ON DIALLO FFS NCAA
10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina (LW 4) It wasn't exactly last years' UNI. And yeah Paige was out, but still...
11 Duke University Logo Duke (LW 11) They've looked exactly how well I thought they would. So really no need to drop them.
12 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati (LW 18) This is where it starts getting interesting...Cincinnati looks like there is a really good offense to compliment that Cronin defense
13 Purdue University Logo Purdue (LW 17) Gotta love that outside shooting to go with some major inside presence
14 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (LW 13) Kyle Wiltjer is still really good.
15 University of Connecticut Logo UConn (LW 14) They've looked good so far against C-list teams, but Michigan is coming up...
16 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) (LW NR) Holy crap. And two top notch recruits too. Like the ACC needed another good school...
17 University of California, Berkeley Logo California (LW 15) ECU isn't great, but they're still undefeated and still have some solid guards
18 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana (LW 21) Offense is fun! Yogi Ferrell is for real.
19 Butler University Logo Butler (LW 22) Offense is fun, part 2! Just wait until Tyler Lewis' contributions can also be measured on the scoresheet...
20 Xavier University Logo Xavier (LW NR) That was a mighty impressive road win. Xavier has some big-time inside domination
21 Vanderbilt University Logo Vanderbilt (LW 19) Stony Brook was a bit too close for comfort
22 Louisiana State University Logo LSU (LW 20) Simmons (and Blakeney, too) has looked like everything promised, but the 5* frosh will need more help down the road
23 University of Oregon Logo Oregon (LW NR) Strong performance against Baylor. Flashy uniforms for a Pac12 dark horse
24 Georgetown University Logo Georgetown (LW NR) Radford wasn't exactly great for them, but they've shown some major life against tough opponents. Smith-Rivera is something else
25 University of Michigan Logo Michigan (LW 16) Oh yeah...no inside presence. Beilein will need to fix this.
