| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
UK beat Duke and would have arguably challeneged for this spot but UNC lost making this an easy choice. |
| 2 |
Maryland
|
Honestly Maryland may have dropped for me had it not been for everyone losing this week. |
| 3 |
Oklahoma
|
Buddy Hield has shown he can carry this team so far, but can he do it in conference play. |
| 4 |
Iowa State
|
Iowa State gets the benefit of 4-6 losing this week. |
| 5 |
Michigan State
|
Originally moving in to my top 8 after beating KU they get an extra bump from everyone else losing as well. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
KU fell victim to the buzz saw that is Denzel Valentine, but showed promise in the loss. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
Duke almost lost to VCU and Georgetown in the 2K Classic, but they are young and promising. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
UNC is not the same without Paige. Last year the team was arguably better without him, but this year's team is not. |
| 9 |
Virginia
|
UVA is great defensively, until they aren't. Can they stop the tough ACC when they couldn't stop Geroge Washington? |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 11 |
Indiana
|
IU has been impressive to start, but can they avoid a Tom Crean like collapse? |
| 12 |
Villanova
|
|
| 13 |
Arizona
|
|
| 14 |
California
|
|
| 15 |
Notre Dame
|
|
| 16 |
Wichita State
|
Van Vleet and Baker need to do more if this Shocker's team is going to succeed. |
| 17 |
LSU
|
Simmons has been exceptional but he will need help from Blakeney for this team to succeed. |
| 18 |
UConn
|
|
| 19 |
Baylor
|
|
| 20 |
Purdue
|
|
| 21 |
Butler

| 22 |
Vanderbilt
|
Almost losing at home to Austin Peay is not good. |
| 23 |
Utah
|
Bad loss to Miami means down you go. |
| 24 |
SMU
|
|
| 25 |
Xavier
|
Big wins over Missouri and Michigan ahve the Muskies trending up. |
