RankTeamReason
1 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Only blemish is 3OT to Kansas, and they've played very well otherwise
2 Xavier University Logo Xavier Another one-loss team in a very tough conference
3 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Ponies are undefeated still - maybe the injuries will hurt them evnetually. Until then, they ranked highly.
4 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Tar Heels bouncing back from a couple early losses.
5 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina They finally lost. But in a weak SEC, they could do very well.
6 Villanova University Logo Villanova Another tough team out of the Big East. The Big East is good this year.
7 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Terps are rising. Every year we say they'll be good. This year they will be.
8 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Hawkeyes beat MSU twice, so we can overlook the 3 losses.
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Bad loss to Wisconsin. Plus two losses to Iowa. They'll bounce back.
10 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Jayhawks are doing well too, there are a lot of very good teams though.
11 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Mountaineers have played well in Big 12.
12 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Aggies only have two losses, they and South Carolina are only really good teams in SEC this year.
13 University of Pittsburgh Logo Pitt Pitt playing well too out of ACC. Let's see if this is finally the year they do well in postseason.
14 Providence College Logo Providence Friars doing well in Big East. Haven't been as good as their hot start lately, but that's still not super bad.
15 Purdue University Logo Purdue Purdue doing well in Big 10, interesting to see how they do against Iowa and Sparty
16 University of Southern California Logo USC Still flying high after win over Arizona
17 University of Arizona Logo Arizona No awful losses, and only three total. They've played well.
18 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Cardinals are doing well this year in spite of scandal.
19 Baylor University Logo Baylor Bears doing well so far, but have a tough Big 12 schedule.
20 University of Dayton Logo Dayton Big win over George Washington.
21 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Only three losses. This Big 10 is good this year. Lots of talent range across basketball, most in recent memory.
22 University of Arkansas at Little Rock Logo Little Rock Trojans still have just the one loss. They may stay that way.
23 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Only three losses as well, Northeastern was bad but others are understandable.
24 University of Hawaii at Manoa Logo Hawaii Two losses - at Texas Tech and against Oklahoma at home. And they almost beat the Sooners. This team is underrated.
25 Grand Canyon University Logo Grand Canyon Only two losses, one was to Louisville, and one was in OT.
