RankTeamReason
1 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina No change here.
2 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Swapping MD and Iowa this week.
3 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Escaping LSU doesn't move them up or down.
4 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Lost to MD, annihilated NW. Not a terrible loss on the road.
5 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Looking back to their old selves pre Valentine injury.
6 Xavier University Logo Xavier Good win over Providence.
7 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Lost at ISU and needed OT vs Kentucky but neither outing was bad.
8 Villanova University Logo Villanova Quiet week after dropping a game to Providence last Sunday.
9 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Should not have beaten Wake, but totally killed Louisville. Louisville is dead now.
10 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU Neutral week for them taking care of Memphis.
11 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Lost to an OK Arkansas team on the road, but made up for it by beating ISU.
12 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Tough game at Florida, but not a bad loss.
13 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Beat Kansas and lost at TAMU. That makes for a neutral week in my book.
14 University of Oregon Logo Oregon No team had a better week than Oregon. Road win @Arizona is impressive.
15 University of Dayton Logo Dayton Probably overranked at this point, but other teams losing with too much frequency or margin.
16 Virginia Commonwealth University Logo VCU Another team overranked by virtue of other teams not wanting to stay ranked.
17 Purdue University Logo Purdue Got a scare against Minnesota.
18 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State FVV and Ron Baker have the Shockers rolling.
19 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Losing @NCSU is still pretty bad. Duke win doesn't quite make up for that.
20 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Dropped a home game this week to Oregon. That's tough.
21 Providence College Logo Providence Another team that dropped a home game. Solid win @Gtown though.
22 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Dead
23 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Tough road loss @Wisconsin.
24 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Played KU to OT in Phog and have been beating up on the SEC.
25 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Others considered: Baylor, Valpo, Duke, Florida
