RankTeamReason
1 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina
2 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Big 12 title race will be most exciting to watch play out. Oklahoma definitely the favorite right now. KU still there, and Baylor, WVU, ISU
3 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland A lot of people seem to be low on them, but 3 losses are @UNC, @MSU, @Mich. No bad losses, win games they should (albeit not always pretty)
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova Big East is another exciting title race. Nova dominated Xavier @home early on
5 Xavier University Logo Xavier
6 University of Iowa Logo Iowa
7 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M arkansas is tough place to play. Good win over ISU
8 Southern Methodist University Logo SMU
9 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State
10 Providence College Logo Providence Bentil and Dunn may be best combo out there, but they can't do it all by themselves.
11 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State Not quite sure the deal with McKay's knee, but fans should stop complaining about him. He's rebounding very well
12 University of Kansas Logo Kansas To the KU fans that say their team is soft- maybe the UK game will quiet you?
13 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Didn't expect them to be playing this well without Ennis. Fairly balanced scoring. Well coached.
14 Baylor University Logo Baylor
15 University of Virginia Logo Virginia I ranked Pitt last week and said the following:
16 University of Louisville Logo Louisville "About to play @Clemson, which apparently is not possible to win if you're ranked. Sorry, Pitt."
17 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia And I found it humorous, but the best part is, Clemson is looking pretty good.
18 Purdue University Logo Purdue I haven't ranked them, but they are quite the interesting team to look at. Playing very well at home right now.
19 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana A couple bad losses early in the season. Have some easier road games upcoming to maybe give them a boost.
20 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky I'm definitely intrigued. Will be interesting to see where they end up.
21 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
22 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State looking real good with FVV
23 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL)
24 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's
25 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State Honorable Mentions: Duke, Valpo, Michigan, VCU, Florida
