RankTeamReason
1 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland I'm not going to move my #1 team down without a loss.
2 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky I don't think Duke is the #5 team, but it was still a good win.
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova I liked this team a lot last week and they gave me no reason not to this week.
4 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State They've looked very good in every game so far.
5 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Moving up by virtue of not losing. Still haven't watched them this year.
6 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina No Marcus Paige, so this loss is an asterisk. Outside shooting is a problem right now.
7 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Some possible chinks in the pack line armor? GW is a good team, but it was still a disappointing loss.
8 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma They looked OK against Memphis.
9 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Tough loss and still no Diallo. They should bounce back.
10 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Blowing out cupcakes is fine, but other teams had better wins
11 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Blew out Creighton. Is Creighton any good?
12 Duke University Logo Duke Tough loss vs Kentucky and some close ones with VCU and Georgetown. Grayson Allen critically important to this team.
13 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State The farthest faller in my rankings. No good reason to drop a game @Tulsa, but things happen.
14 University of California, Berkeley Logo California Holding steady.
15 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Zeusing steady.
16 University of Connecticut Logo UConn Big test coming this week vs Michigan.
17 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Jumping onto the rankings with blowout wins against Butler, Utah, and MSST.
18 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Close call with Milwaukee, but got the W.
19 Purdue University Logo Purdue In a dog fight with Florida, but they have the look of a top 20 team.
20 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Nice win at Stanford. Shot a lot of long '2s though.
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Blowing out cupcakes.
22 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Handling outmatched early season competition.
23 Butler University Logo Butler Some good and bad this week. Miami team is no joke.
24 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Baylor was a very good early season win. It was between Oregon and Xavier for this spot.
25 Providence College Logo Providence Good wins against Harvard and Illinois, but Illinois is playing with a decimated roster.
