RankTeamReason
1 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State MSU or Kansas could easily both take the top spot, but MSU is hot right now, and it's stupid to bet against Izzo in March.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Easily the best of the Big 12.
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia I don't count the Duke game as a loss, so their only loss lately was @ a very good Miami team. Looking great.
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova
5 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina A "good loss" @ Virginia. Other teams moving down means they move up.
6 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL)
7 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana They're in first place in the Big Ten and are playing well. Hopefully Crean can find some success in March.
8 University of Louisville Logo Louisville
9 Xavier University Logo Xavier The win vs 'Nova was set to launch Xavier into the top 5, but the immediate stumble to Seton Hall leaves them about the same ranking.
10 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Oklahoma got the benefit of the doubt last week, but 3 losses in the last 5 games means it's time to drop.
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue Playing well, despite being right in the middle of the Big Ten standings. No recent bad losses, just a tough schedule.
12 University of Oregon Logo Oregon They won the games they were supposed to. Other teams moved down.
13 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland Maryland has a ton of talent but are struggling the last two weeks. Seems like Melo might have gotten his shot back.
14 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Nice win against ISU. The stats back them up.
15 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Two losses this week.
16 University of Iowa Logo Iowa Iowa has dropped there last 3. Need to turn things around going in to March.
17 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky
18 Duke University Logo Duke Still don't know what to think about this Duke team. They're good and they're bad. The last game against UNC should be fun.
19 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Awesome win against Oklahoma. Shaka is coming in to his own now. Texas heating up while other members of the Big XII cool down.
20 Baylor University Logo Baylor
21 University of Utah Logo Utah Nice win against Zona.
22 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Last week they had our attention, and this week they deserve to be ranked. Have won 10 of the last 11, only loss @MSU. 3 top-10 wins.
23 Iowa State University Logo Iowa State The state of Iowa is not liking February it seems. Hopefully they get things turned around in March.
24 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M
25 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall
