RankTeamReason
1 Villanova University Logo Villanova Not a dominant game vs La Salle but a win is a win and they took care of Penn and Saint Josephs.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Davidson rattled them in the first half but Kansas took care of business in the 2nd like their usual selves, winning by 18.
3 Baylor University Logo Baylor No change, great week for them against a favorable schedule and should be another easy win next for the Bears.
4 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Good week for UCLA with wins over OSU by 13 and rout of UCSB. 1st in country in assists, 2nd in points.
5 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Close win vs UNC after a dominant performance by Malik Monk. I think they 1 up Duke over this quality of a win, Louisville next.
6 Duke University Logo Duke Hardly any action by Duke this week.
7 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Keeping it rolling with all their team ranks equally balanced, they're a good team. Easy next couple of weeks, or should be.
8 Creighton University Logo Creighton Narrow win vs a ORU team and are against ASU, Seton Hall, and NOVA next. I don't see them hanging on that much longer.
9 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia I'm not sure if this team is made up of humans anymore. They're tearing up the competition with an easy next couple of games.
10 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Cruising the past 3 games, they hit the Wildcats at the KFC Yum center next.
11 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Prior to the Kentucky game, they were managing narrow wins and they couldn't keep up with the Wildcats, even with Berry.
12 Purdue University Logo Purdue Great win vs Notre Dame and have looked good since the Louisville game. Next couple of games should be wins.
13 Butler University Logo Butler Amazing last 2 games against a strong Bearcats team then beating Indiana. Exciting team.
14 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Have looked alright last 2 games but face CAL, Louisville and FSU next. Yikes.
15 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana I don't get this team. They look soo good against top ranked teams but when they're the "better team", it just turns around.
16 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Quiet week for the Badgers, GB win was good and great day for Hayes. Next 2 games should be in their favor.
17 University of Southern California Logo USC Decisive win vs Troy, and should get wins their next 3 games until the competition hits them with Oregon.
18 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Escaped against the Aggies and they've looked pretty good as of late. 23rd in country in points allowed. Upcoming schedule is shaky.
19 University of Oregon Logo Oregon Dominant last 2 games but looking ahead after Fresno, they're against UCLA and USC. :o
20 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's Great playing last 2 games and have a favorable schedule next couple of weeks until they face Gonzaga.
21 Florida State University Logo Florida State Nothing much, good win vs MAN and next few games, they should be ok.
22 Xavier University Logo Xavier I personally thought this team was overrated at the beginning of the season. The last few games, they've played bad.They need a quality win.
23 University of Minnesota Logo Minnesota Good performance the last few games, all they need is a huge quality win. MSU is a start, Purdue after.
24 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina Very shaky the past 2 games including the Seton Hall loss. They need Thornwell or else this team is average besides Dozier.
25 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech Biggest Moves: Butler (+8) | South Carolina (-9) & Indiana (-9)
