No reason to move them down from last week. Next week should be a little more tough with UCLA looking good. |

Wow what a performance in Maui. I'm getting very impressed with Joel Berry so far. |

Quiet week for the Wildcats but they dominated their only opponent. Some serious Big 5 action for them next week. |

They might have been even higher if not for the 2nd half against Providence. This defence is special. |
5 |

Solid 3 win week for the Jayhawks, although they had no success guarding Yante Maten. |
6 |

No movement for Duke, still waiting to see those freshmen in the line-up. |

It's impossible not to be impressed by this team. 4 quality wins already and they've got an opportunity for more against Xavier this week. |
8 |

I'm very high on this team although they almost slipped up against the Cyclones. |
9 |

Creighton is now entering the part of their non-conference schedule where they should dominate, like a top 10 team would. |

If only Xavier could play Northern Iowa for every game this year. Big test this weekend in Waco. |
11 |

This team dominated November but December is filled with more challenging match ups for them. |
12 |
![]() |
Their game against Stanford may be their last real challenge until mid-January. |
13 |

This may be a little high but I really like what I saw against Arizona. They need to follow it up against another tough team in Utah. |
14 |

Oh goodness. Every good team slips up but the Hoosiers need to get back on track in a hurry. The Heels are waiting. |

I was very impressed with Syracuse until the Gamecocks dismantled them on Saturday. The win against Michigan was dominant too. |
16 |
![]() |
The Cyclones faced adversity in Orlando. They responded well and nearly had a miraculous comeback against the Zags. |
17 |
![]() |
The loss to Butler hurts and their quality win over Michigan State doesn't look quite as good as it did originally. |
18 |

B4A wasn't quite as good for the Cardinals as I had hoped. ODU in OT wasn't a good start and losing the lead in the final wasn't a good end |

There's something to be said about a team that can constantly come through in the clutch. Melo is proving to be a true leader. |
20 |

The Orange did not respond to their first test very well, but Boeheim should have his team ready for the second one. |
21 |

The Irish quietly beat 2 solid teams early in the week. The rest of their wins have been absolutely dominant. |
22 |

Big opportunity this week against the Cards. They played well in Mexico too. |
23 |
![]() |
They never quite looked solid in Maui. They could have easily lost to the Vols or to Georgetown. |
24 |

Wins over Texas A+M and SMU are nothing to laugh at. The Trojans could contend in the PAC 12 this year. |

Excited to see this bunch play against Iowa State on Thursday. Next 5: VCU, Texas A+M, URI, WVU, tOSU |
