RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Cleary number 1 so far.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Getting Diallo is huge. Selden is on fire, got a good win vs Vandy.
3 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Just beat a really good Providence team, and they close games nicely.
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova I've been pretty impressed early, more so than with Maryland.
5 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland They've had a lot of struggles against teams they should handle easily.
6 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma They've looked pretty good all year.
7 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Probably should have beaten Illinois by more but they're explosive.
8 Duke University Logo Duke Last two games have looked nice, esp against Utah State.
9 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Once they get Paige they should go up.
10 University of Virginia Logo Virginia The offense is good, which is scary considering their defense.
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue Very hot start, helped by lots of other teams losing.
12 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Tempted to drop them more, but they're better than Zona and the rest to me.
13 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Also tempted to drop them more, but I think they would beat every team from 14-25 at least 6 out of 10 times on a neutral court.
14 University of Oregon Logo Oregon They have looked solid all year, good win vs Baylor.
15 Vanderbilt University Logo Vanderbilt Played Kansas very well.
16 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Beat Richmond and SDSU, two pesky teams.
17 Xavier University Logo Xavier Big time wins over USC and Dayton.
18 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Undefeated with a solid win over GW.
19 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Confusing loss to Northeastern but they've flattened everyone else with 2 wins vs teams that were ranked at the time.
20 Baylor University Logo Baylor Good start, only loss is to a good Oregon team.
21 Providence College Logo Providence Played MSU pretty well. Beat Arizona.
22 University of Connecticut Logo UConn Had two tough losses. Looked pretty good in those losses.
23 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Good wins over Texas and Gonzaga, loss to Cuse isn't a huge deal to me.
24 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Have not done anything incredible yet but still off to a good start.
25 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame Two very close losses to Monmouth and Bama should not hurt them a ton.
