RankTeamReason
1 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Sooners still #1
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Sparty moves up to #2 after a Purdue loss
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Huge win over Villanova plus teams losing ahead of them moves UVA into top 3
4 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Terps move into Top 4
5 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Jayhawks playing well this year too, only loss was to Sparty
6 Xavier University Logo Xavier Musketeers are undefeated and beat Cincy - this could be a sleeper team
7 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Arizona's doing well this year
8 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Ponies are undefeated and The American is better than people think.
9 Butler University Logo Butler Big win over Purdue moves them up.
10 Purdue University Logo Purdue Speaking of Purdue, here they are. It's basically a toss-up between them and Butler, and when that happens (and ONLY then) I look at H2H
11 Providence College Logo Providence Providence beat Arizona and is playing well. The Big East may not be back to its former glory, but it's getting there
12 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State UNI loss is bad. But they've been playing well otherwise.
13 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina They're moving up a bit this week, but UNI, and to a lesser extent, Texas, still sting
14 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Cardinals doing well, scandal and all.
15 Duke University Logo Duke Loss to Utah is bad, but it was close.
16 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina Still undefeated, and in an SEC that's weak except for an uncharacteristically poor Kentucky team, they could stay that way for a while.
17 Villanova University Logo Villanova They've struggled their last couple games, but they'll bounce back.
18 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Mountaineers playing well in Big 12
19 George Washington University Logo GW Still only lost to Cincy. And they beat Virginia, which looks better every week.
20 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Canes get back in this week. Loss to Northeastern is terrible, but that's their only one.
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Beat GW, and may be #2 in The American after SMU
22 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Aggies get back in this week after beating Baylor
23 Northwestern University Logo Northwestern They still only have one loss, and it was to UNC.
24 University of Arkansas at Little Rock Logo Little Rock Trojans are undefeated, and in a weak conference, could run the table. Only Texas Tech on Tuesday presents a formidable challenge.
25 University of Colorado Logo Colorado Only loss was to Iowa State. The Buffs get in this week. Kentucky is UR because losses to Ohio State and UCLA are too bad to overlook.
