| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
|
| 2 |
Oklahoma
|
Won at home despite trailing the majority of the game to ISU, OU proves they're a top team |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
UVA is sound in all phases of the game, and with Tobey stepping up, this is a scary, scary team. |
| 4 |
Arizona
|
|
| 5 |
North Carolina
|
Struggled a bit against GT, this team concerns me a bit |
| 6 |
Maryland
|
Weak performances against mediocre teams... at least they came back with a strong performance against NU |
| 7 |
Providence
|
Providence continues to impress |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
Without Valentine, this team is maybe top 15. I'm keeping them here since Valentine is coming back. |
| 9 |
Iowa State
|
Despite the loss at OU, Iowa State looked good |
| 10 |
Kentucky
|
|
| 11 |
Miami (FL)
|
Miami continues to roll and looks like a top ACC team |
| 12 |
Villanova
|
Villanova proves they're the team to beat in the Big East |
| 13 |
Xavier
|
Xavier rebounded after getting absolutely pounded by Villanova. I think that game was a bit of a fluke. |
| 14 |
Duke
|
Ingram has stepped up when the Blue Devils needed someone to |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
"Press Virginia" can make some teams shit their pants. A sole loss vs. UVA presents a great resume |
| 16 |
SMU
|
The Mustangs are for real this year. |
| 17 |
Louisville
|
A 2-point loss @ Kentucky won't hurt you much |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
Two consecutive top-25 wins |
| 19 |
Purdue
|
|
| 20 |
Texas A&M
|
Shrugging off those early losses, T A&M looks strong |
| 21 |
Butler
|
Butler fell flat on their faces while entering Big East conference play |
| 22 |
Pitt
|
Pitt is back, and have now won 8 straight |
| 23 |
South Carolina
|
They continue to beat unranked opponents... and don't have one scheduled until February. |
| 24 |
Dayton
|
|
| 25 |
Texas Tech
|
Next few: Cal, Houston, Seton Hall, UConn, Saint Mary's |
