RankTeamReason
1 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma 2 narrow escapes propel them up. 2 tough road games this week, wouldn't be surprised to see a new #1 next week.
2 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Lots of parity this year and hard to tell who the best team is, but I think UNC may be the most talented.
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Good
4 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Tough road loss against WVU, but winning on the road to a top 10 team ain't easy.
5 Xavier University Logo Xavier
6 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Not the team from Iowa I expected to be up at the beginning of the season. But they are playing some damn good basketball.
7 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU pony up
8 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Very nearly knocked off 1 and 2 in the same week. Good depth to the team makes the D killer
9 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Lost against a hot shooting UofM team but crushed it in the next game. Great, talented team, but don't always play to own level.
10 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Winning, climbing.
11 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Izzo just had to slow things down a bit so he didn't use up all the mojo before March
12 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Rankings from here to 20 are a clusterfuck. I feel there's a large number of teams. This tier of good teams seems all really close
13 Baylor University Logo Baylor Good wins aren't looking as good anymore.. But we'll see.
14 Purdue University Logo Purdue Here's the thing- a large number of teams lost and some should drop from said losses, which allows Purdue to jump way back up here
15 University of Southern California Logo USC Best team in LA (well, other than the Clips)
16 Butler University Logo Butler mmhmm
17 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana www.tomcreanbuyout.com
18 University of Louisville Logo Louisville SHUT DOWN one of top offensive teams in Pitt
19 University of Pittsburgh Logo Pitt
20 Providence College Logo Providence Bentil and Dunn need some help
21 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Miami did the cool thing by losing to Clemson
22 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Need to learn how to win away games
23 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Tough road loss to Texas, bounced back with a convincing win at Kansas State.
24 Duke University Logo Duke Ranking Duke and Kentucky was difficult. Both looked mediocre this week.
25 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Honorable mentions: Clemson, Valpo, Saint Mary's, Ark-LR, Wichita State
