Submitted on Sunday, November 20, 2016 at 10:03PM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
(3) Hard to choose between Nova and UK. Decided UK. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
(4) At Purdue is a really good win. Almost put Villanova 1st. |
| 3 |
North Carolina
|
(7) Maui this week. Tough tests coming up. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
(1) BIFM. Nuff said |
| 5 |
Duke
|
(2) Good win vs Rhode Island. If everyone was healthy, they'd likely be #1, but not everyone is healthy |
| 6 |
Indiana
|
(10) Great OT win vs KU. Shot lights out that night from 3. If they keep that up, look out. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
(6) Only fell due to Indiana. |
| 8 |
Louisville
|
(14) They've looked impressive in their 3 wins, but can't wait to see them vs Purdue. |
| 9 |
Arizona
|
(8) Good win vs Michigan State, but I need to know about Trier before I move them back up. |
| 10 |
Oregon
|
(4) Not having Brooks hurts. He's expected back this week on limited minutes, so I'll wait until he's healthy to reevaluate Oregon. |
| 11 |
West Virginia
|
(12) Haven't played anyone, but they look like a dangerous team. Get Illinois and later, Virginia. |
| 12 |
Virginia
|
(9) Losing Nichols hurts, but that defense is really good. Don't sleep on Virginia in the ACC. |
| 13 |
Gonzaga
|
(16) Win over SDSU was impressive. Waiting for that Arizona game before they really get tested. |
| 14 |
Syracuse
|
(17) Game against Wisconsin coming up will be a fun one |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
(19) No shame in losing a close one to Villanova. Big game on the horizon vs Louisville |
| 16 |
Creighton
|
(21) Good win over Wisconsin at home. Backcourt is dangerous. |
| 17 |
Wisconsin
|
(13) Tough loss at Creighton. Maui is this week to make up for it |
| 18 |
Texas
|
(15) Close game against Incarnate Word, but was the opener. Michigan game on the horizon. |
| 19 |
Iowa State
|
(18) Blowing all the bad opponents out. Will be interesting to see how they play against Cincy coming up. |
| 20 |
Saint Mary's
|
(24) Good win over Dayton. |
| 21 |
Michigan State
|
(11) Tough schedule for MSU. Doesn't really get any easier either. |
| 22 |
UCLA
|
(23) Not much to evaluate. |
| 23 |
Michigan
|
(UR) Good wins over Marquette and SMU |
| 24 |
URI
|
(UR) Not a bad loss to Duke. Still not sure how to view Rhode Island |
| 25 |
Wichita State
|
(UR) WSU is playing scary good against bad opponents. Others considered: Baylor, Cincinnati, Maryland, and Cal |
