Duh. (-) |
| 2 |
Duke

Win at Wisconsin > Zona's win at home against Gonzaga (+2) |
| 3 |
Arizona
|
With that though, the margin between the two is razor thin (-) |
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
Very good team that ran into a hot buzz-saw (-2) |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
Continue to impress me, will be interesting to see when conference starts (-) |
| 6 |
Virginia

Oh hey look they scored 70+ twice in a row and their defense is still scary as hell (-) |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
Nice win against Florida, not impressive, but nice, may have to try to get to the Verizon Center Wednesday (-) |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
Looks like they will get more challenges during the year than previously thought (+2) |
| 9 |
Texas
|
Lost to Kentucky almost didn't drop them, tough to choose where they go (-1) |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
IMO the should have been on the line with a chance to win in regulation, but so it goes (-1) |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
Boy rough week for teams below the top 10 of last week's ballot, but I feel they played the toughest team and looked best in their loss (+1) |
| 12 |
Iowa State
|
Looked really good this week, and I may have over reacted on their loss to a game Maryland team (+7) |
| 13 |
Wichita State
|
They lost their first real test, IMO Seton Hall will be another chance for them, wanted to drop them further, everyone else sucked (-2) |
| 14 |
Maryland
|
Okay I may be reaching here, but they lost to #5, others had much worse loses (+4) |
| 15 |
Oklahoma
|
Again a bit of a reach, but there were some really bad losses (+6) |
| 16 |
UCLA
|
Still think they are the Pac 12's second best, big tests a head (+7) |
| 17 |
Michigan State
|
I just don't know what to do with them, but no one seems to want these spots (-1) |
| 18 |
Butler
|
Butler seems to find ways to win games that many teams are not (New) |
| 19 |
Georgetown
|
Big chance for them at home against Kansas, Smith-Rivera can strait up ball (New) |
| 20 |
Northern Iowa
|
Are they this good? Only time will tell, but for now they look like it (+4) |
| 21 |
Washington
|
Good win over SDSU puts the Huskies in this week (New) |
