FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Oklahoma
|
(1) Struggled with this, but OU has the better resume. Better wins, and better losses. In reality it's 1A and 1B. |
| 2 |
North Carolina
|
(2) Really they are 1B. They are really good. Lost to UNI without Paige, and lost to Texas on a last second shot, but lack amazing wins. |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
(5) 2nd in KenPom, 2 wins over Purdue, 2 wins over Michigan State, win over Michigan and Wichita State as well. Playing great right now. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
(4) Lost to Providence at home in OT, but that's still not a terrible loss. |
| 5 |
Texas A&M
|
(10) Really playing well right now. Have a win over Baylor. They get Iowa State Saturday at home. |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
(6) Loss at home vs Texas, won a close one at Texas Tech. Lucky for them, everyone else lost as well, and that Texas loss isn't terrible. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
(3) Bad loss at Oklahoma State, but good win vs Texas. Think they lose at Iowa State Monday. Lots of questions with KU. |
| 8 |
Providence
|
(14) Got a great win at Villanova. Playing good ball, but they are the Maryland team of last year, will win the close games late. |
| 9 |
Baylor
|
(12) Lost to OU, but that's not that bad. Still have a win in Ames. |
| 10 |
Iowa State
|
(20) Win over OU last Monday. Believe they'll beat KU this Monday. Iowa State is a very good team |
| 11 |
Louisville
|
(13) They'd be ranked higher if they had a signature win. They'll have an opportunity Saturday with Virginia and then Monday vs UNC. |
| 12 |
Maryland
|
(8) A loss a Michigan State, but they still don't have a great win. Get a chance Thursday at home vs Iowa. |
| 13 |
Xavier
|
(7) Loss to Georgetown hurts. They get Providence Tuesday to help their cause. |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
(17) Some good wins, as well as some bad away losses. They get Louisville on the road Saturday to see if they can pick up a good win on road |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
(21) 9th in KenPom and a loss to Iowa isn't bad, but they lack great wins. Best win is Michigan. |
| 16 |
SMU
|
(9) Lost to Temple on the road. SMU has no great wins and with that loss, they become really hard to rank. |
| 17 |
Michigan State
|
(11) Win over Maryland is good, but before that they lost 3 straight. Had they lost to Maryland they wouldn't be ranked. |
| 18 |
Wichita State
|
(22) On a roll and are really good with VanFleet in the lineup. Could go undefeated in the MVC |
| 19 |
Notre Dame
|
(23) Won both games this week. Have a win over Iowa and Duke. Have some questionable losses as well. |
| 20 |
Miami (FL)
|
(18) Won both this week but don't have a great win. They get Duke Monday. |
| 21 |
Duke
|
(24) They get Miami Monday which can help them get signature wins they lack. |
| 22 |
Arizona
|
(16) Lost at California. They really don't have great wins. They play the Oregon schools this week. |
| 23 |
Kentucky
|
(UR) They have wins over Duke and Louisville with some bad losses. They go to AFH Saturday which could help their cause. |
| 24 |
Indiana
|
(UR) No great wins, still won't face the tough part of their schedule for 2 weeks but can't ignore a 3 loss big 10 team. |
| 25 |
Oregon
|
(UR) Thought about Dayton, Saint Mary's, and Valpo, but went with Oregon. Oregon has wins over USC, Valpo, and Baylor. |
