FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
Josh Hart really is something. Villanova trailed in the 1st half vs ND but a strong 2nd half was what I needed to see for them to be 1st. |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Same spot as last week, no change. |
| 3 |
Baylor
|
Their resume and team speak for themselves. Not much action from them this week. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Good win vs Florida and amazing performance vs UNLV. Kennard is a stud. |
| 5 |
UCLA
|
Michigan game was good, the Wolverines never backed off but UCLA upheld their lead with good shooting as always. |
| 6 |
Indiana
|
Slow week, nothing big happened. Butler game will be interesting. |
| 7 |
Kentucky
|
Slow week as well for the wildcats. UNC and Louisville next, will determine if they're for real or not. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
Scary games against Davidson and Tennessee...at home. Kentucky game will be nail biter. They need Joel Berry. |
| 9 |
Gonzaga
|
No change, very solid team. |
| 10 |
Creighton
|
5th in the country in scoring, 10th in assists. They just need defense. |
| 11 |
Louisville
|
I'm shaky on them but I'll put them here. Favorable game vs EKY but Kentucky game will put them on edge. |
| 12 |
West Virginia
|
Very good defensive team, 4th in points allowed 6th in points. Well rounded team overall. I'm over the Temple loss. |
| 13 |
Virginia
|
As good as their defense is, their offense needs work hardly beating OSU and PROV. |
| 14 |
Purdue
|
Overall, they're a pretty good team led by Swanigan, ND next, going to be a fun game. |
| 15 |
South Carolina
|
High ranking but they've earned it being undefeated and beating Michigan and Syracuse. Thornwell is a beast. |
| 16 |
Wisconsin
|
Another shaky team that barely pulled away from Marquette but deserve to be this high. |
| 17 |
Oregon
|
Despite the slow start to the season, they've looked a lot better with Dillon Brooks back in. |
| 18 |
Arizona
|
Progressing and looking better.Texas A&M game should go to the wildcats but we'll find out. |
| 19 |
Saint Mary's
|
14 point loss to UTA at home was not what I expected but given how good they can shoot, I see potential and a lot of talent. |
| 20 |
USC
|
Undefeated team that's been phenomenal. I hope they don't stop at how good of a pace they're in.Next few games should be wins. |
| 21 |
Butler
|
Surprising loss vs INST but a great game vs CIN was what they needed. Now to beat Indiana next... |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
Very bad and disappointing last 3 games. Lost vs COLO and Baylor then almost lost to Utah. They need to find that rhythm again. |
| 23 |
Florida State
|
They've looked great over the last few games beating a ranked Florida team. They're back in for me. |
| 24 |
Minnesota
|
A 10-1 Gophers team deserves some love. 19th in country in rebounds. Favorable wins next 2 games then MSU. |
| 25 |
Notre Dame
|
Yes I know they lost to Villanova but they looked great, dominating 1st half but lost the lead. On the edge right now. Need to beat Purdue. |
