RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky They look like the best team. They play like the best team. They might just be the best team.
2 Villanova University Logo Villanova Playing at an extremely high level. May have to wait until December to see how good this team truly is. Hopefully no more choking here.
3 Duke University Logo Duke When Allen's on, easily a top team. When he's off, there might be a dozen better teams.
4 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Can't wait to play these guys. Possible best frontcourt. Everyone playing well.
5 University of Virginia Logo Virginia GW game looking like a fluke. Wouldn't have happened in a different venue or even in a rematch.
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Paige's injury is showing.
7 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Some unrealized potential in how they've played so far.
8 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Same as above. Big XII seems like the conference of underachievers right now.
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Great showing against the Jayhawks.
10 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Greene suspension bad short-term, good long-term. Free Diallo!
11 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Serious doubts here. Maybe the Terps are just playing to the level of their competition. Maybe they just aren't that good.
12 University of Arizona Logo Arizona This team is starting to gel. Survived an easy game without Anderson. We'll see how we do when we leave McKale. Poised to make a move up.
13 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati This is a team that is playing great basketball. Far better than most expected.
14 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) As above.
15 Purdue University Logo Purdue Getting it done. Making boilers. Or whatever it is they do.
16 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Another team in Indiana getting it done. Hoosiering.
17 University of California, Berkeley Logo California Is this team struggling to find motivation against its competition? Top-tier talent, meh execution. Step it up, Bears!
18 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Louisville gon' Louisville.
19 Vanderbilt University Logo Vanderbilt Vandy looking like the SEC's best hope to put some competition in UK's way.
20 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame ND looking to be an exciting team yet again.
21 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State No VanVleet hurts. A lot. Two different teams. Take note, Duke: This is you without Allen.
22 Xavier University Logo Xavier Can't wait for next month's Crosstown Classic.
23 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Two left feet. It's a crying shame.
24 Baylor University Logo Baylor A neutral court rematch would see the Bears victorious in my estimation.
25 University of Oregon Logo Oregon No Young? No problem. Ducks looking even better.
