Submitted on Monday, November 30, 2015 at 1:14AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
Valentine, Izzo, and wins over Kansas and Providence boost them to #1. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
Looked good against Duke and have avoided the upsets causing chaos throughout the rest of the Top 25. |
| 3 |
Maryland
|
Maryland will be tested by North Carolina. Their ranking is based on hype right now. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Beat Vanderbilt in Maui and now have Cheick Diallo. |
| 5 |
Iowa State
|
The win over Colorado looks better now. |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
Have won big in all of their games so far. St. Joe's should be a good test for the Wildcats. |
| 7 |
Duke
|
They have pulled out close games after losing to Kentucky. Beat previously undefeated Utah State by 33. |
| 8 |
Oklahoma
|
Another team with preseason hype lacking a big win so far (Wisconsin? Ehhh..). The Villanova game in Hawaii should be awesome! |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
The Tar Heels should bounce back when Marcus Paige returns. |
| 10 |
Purdue
|
This year's Purdue is the store-brand version of last year's Kentucky. Giants around the post and good shooters outside. |
| 11 |
Virginia
|
Bounced back in the Charleston Classic after losing @GW. |
| 12 |
Syracuse
|
"What were you saying, NCAA?" - Syracuse at the Battle for Atlantis |
| 13 |
Gonzaga
|
Lost a close won against Texas A&M but beat a good UConn team. |
| 14 |
Cincinnati
|
Beat two teams looking to surprise this year (GW and Nebraska). |
| 15 |
Xavier
|
Destroyed Dayton when everybody expected the game to be a close one. |
| 16 |
Providence
|
Michigan State v. Providence may be the best game of the season so far. Wins over Arizona and Evansville aren't too bad either. |
| 17 |
Oregon
|
Oregon has beat Baylor and Valparaiso at home, and is still undefeated. Good enough for me! |
| 18 |
West Virginia
|
West Virginia is undefeated, winning big, and ready to surprise Virginia and the Big XII. |
| 19 |
Texas A&M
|
Lost to Syracuse in the final of the Battle for Atlantis, but defeated Gonzaga and rival Texas along the way. |
| 20 |
Miami (FL)
|
Miami looked like the were going to demolish everyone in their path, and then lost to NORTHEASTERN. What? |
| 21 |
GW
|
Beat a really good Virginia team at home, then nearly beat Cincinnati on a neutral floor. |
| 22 |
Baylor
|
Lost a close road game against Oregon, and you can't hate them for that. |
| 23 |
Vanderbilt
|
Lost to a weakened, but still very good, Kansas team. Should be fighting at the top of the SEC this year. |
| 24 |
Arizona
|
Preseason hype and previous seasons say that Arizona should be able to turn this one around. |
| 25 |
Florida
|
The Gators looked good against Purdue for 30 minutes, beat a OK St. Joe's team, and handled everyone else so far. (No 2-loss teams, sorry!) |
