RankTeamReason
1 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Best Team in the nation, 3 pg lineup with the new rules is devastating on offense and defense
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Not far behind Kentucky, playing a hell of a schedule. Pulled out a win against a fantastic Providence team & Kris Dunn
3 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland A different person seems to be stepping up every game for these guys
4 Duke University Logo Duke Explosive offense, only loss is to the best team in the country. Grayson Allen can score with the best of them.
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Like Duke lost a tough one in the Champions classic to MSU. Since has looked good especially against UCLA and Vandy
6 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Buddy Hield and the crew looking like they could challenge Kansas for that Big 12 title
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova Villanova doing what they seem to always do early on in the season, just win.
8 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina They need Paige back as quick as possible.
9 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Have played a pretty lax schedule so far, but haven't had a hickup so far. Niang and Morris avg. 88 a game, still playing uptempo.
10 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Had a great week, and although the scoring has dropped back down they still look impressive. Really athletic.
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue I have my reservations about this team but they keep performing well and keep moving up slowly for me.
12 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Since the GW loss they've looked a lot better. Brogdon needs to be efficient for them to go deep.
13 Providence College Logo Providence Kris Dunn is the best player in College basketball. Pair him with Ben Bentil and look out big east.
14 Syracuse University Logo Syracuse Syracuse usually has one good 3 point shooter surrounded by a bunch of long athletes. This year they have 4 capable shooters and look good
15 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Tough loss to a good providence team. Not so much a knock on arizona but more about how good providence is.
16 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Daniel House is going to give a lot of teams fit. One of the better scorers in the SEC, watch out for him.
17 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Still undefeated and putting up a lot of points. Looks like they have been able to replace joseph young
18 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Had a tough loss to a good Texas A&M team.
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Great defensive team but have the same concerns about this team when they aren't forcing turnovers that were there last year.
20 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) This team has a lot of experience. Lost a heart breaker at the buzzer, this is a seasoned team that will bounce back.
21 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Playing good team basketball right now. Once Moore comes out of his shooting slump this team can be really explosive.
22 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Lost two tough ones in the tourney this past week. They have to tighten up their D, but when they are hitting from deep talk about scary.
23 University of Connecticut Logo UConn Two tough losses by a total of 6 points. They'll bounce back and should battle it out with Cincy and SMU for the American championship.
24 Butler University Logo Butler Haven't helped or hurt themselves since the Miami loss.
25 George Washington University Logo GW Almost pulled off another big upset against Cincy. Patricio Garino is shooting the lights out, nearly 60% from the field and 70% from three
