| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
(+1) Look the part, once again. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
(+4) Impressed by them thus far. Deserve to be higher as the defending champs. |
| 3 |
Indiana
|
(+12) Best win in the land. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
(-1) Second best win and "best" loss. |
| 5 |
Duke
|
(-4) Ranked here prior to URI. Still elite. |
| 6 |
North Carolina
|
(-1) 11/30 game against IU will be the tits. |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
(--) Still looks like a potentially great team. |
| 8 |
Arizona
|
(--) Class of the PAC with Brooks out for UO. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
(--) Very high on this team. Have a feeling they finish top 5. |
| 10 |
Xavier
|
(+2) Should be able to challenge Nova. |
| 11 |
Baylor
|
(UR) Wins against UO and a potentially very good FGCU. |
| 12 |
Oregon
|
(-8) Looked sluggish without Brooks against BU, but came together for Valpo win. |
| 13 |
Louisville
|
(--) Great D. |
| 14 |
Syracuse
|
(--) Great D. |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
(-4) Tough loss. Still high on this team. |
| 16 |
Creighton

(UR) Really good win. 3-way race for the Big East? |
| 17 |
UCLA
|
(--) Beating teams handily that would have given them trouble in years past. |
| 18 |
Saint Mary's
|
(--) So many returning wins. WCC very top-heavy though. |
| 19 |
Wisconsin
|
(-9) Big drop probably unwarranted now. Still early. |
| 20 |
Butler
|
(-1) Looked very meh. |
| 21 |
URI
|
(UR) Tentative hype bought. Ranked prior to Duke. |
| 22 |
Clemson
|
(-2) Still think this is a very good team. |
| 23 |
Michigan
|
(UR) They're back? |
| 24 |
Ohio State
|
(-3) Haven't looked particularly special. |
| 25 |
Florida
|
(UR) Look at all these scrappy underdogs at the bottom of the poll! |
