| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Maryland
|
(+1)10 days, 4 wins. Home vs #4 Iowa, @OSU, @Neb, Home vs #16 Purdue. |
| 2 |
Iowa
|
(+2) Move back up 2 spots after a spotless week. |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
(+2) Another week where they look much more like the team that beat Kansas than the team that dropped 3 games in a row. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
(+4) Winning at Providence is good enough to jump a few teams. |
| 5 |
Xavier
|
(+1) Beat up on the bottom of the conference at home this week. |
| 6 |
Kansas
|
(+1) Also beat up on the bottom feeders. |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
(+2) Pretty good win at Pitt. Enough to jump OU and UNC in this poll. |
| 8 |
West Virginia
|
(+4) Losing Holton a positive? Team beat ISU and Baylor this week. Impressive. |
| 9 |
Oklahoma
|
(-6) Bad loss @KSU. Wish they had kept it closer. |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
(-9) Lost twice this week. @Lville and @ND are tough, but gotta find a way to win one. |
| 11 |
Oregon
|
(+3) Only played once this week, but didn't lose. |
| 12 |
Dayton
|
(+3) Way over ranked by now. Hard to justify other teams in this spot too though, so I'll just give Dayton props. |
| 13 |
SMU
|
(-3) No shame losing @Houston. |
| 14 |
Miami (FL)
|
(+5) This is the sad state of CBB affairs. Winning at home against ND jumps you 5 spots. |
| 15 |
Arizona
|
(+5) Two good road wins this week. |
| 16 |
Louisville
|
(+6) Last week I said that UVA killed Louisville. That proved oddly prophetic. |
| 17 |
Iowa State
|
(-4) I wish I could drop them more for a bad week. Lost a home game and escaped @OSU. |
| 18 |
Texas A&M
|
(-7) Another team I wish I could drop further. Lost twice, including a home game. |
| 19 |
Purdue
|
(-2) Lost to the now #1 team on the road. Not a bad loss and they showed well. |
| 20 |
UConn
|
(NR) I'm going to churn the bottom here. Playing much better, two road wins, and got Brimah back. |
| 21 |
Texas
|
(NR) Wins at Baylor and vs Texas Tech get them into this poll this week. |
| 22 |
Wichita State
|
(-4) B tier loss according to Kenpom. I guess shit happens. |
| 23 |
South Carolina
|
(NR) Great road win against TAMU. Welcome back Cocks. |
| 24 |
Valparaiso
|
(NR) I'm just going to rank some smaller schools because the big schools feel the need to keep losing. |
| 25 |
VCU
|
(-9) Bad to lose at home to the KP 70 team. |
