RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Utterly destroyed a quality St. Mary's team at home.
2 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Beat two mediocre teams this week, but almost lost to OKst at home. They were behind the majority of the game and won by 7.
3 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA If they would have beat Utah by more than 1, they may have jumped Kansas this week, but alas, here we are.
4 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia This is another team that may have jumped someone if they hadn't almost lost to Texas.
5 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Fine week. Beat Vandy by 6.
6 Baylor University Logo Baylor Looked horrible @WestViriginia, but most teams do. Really good win on the road to a very good Kansas State team.
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova
8 Creighton University Logo Creighton Big win against Butler, but it will take a lot for them to jump Villanova for the same reasons as UK not jumping UCLA any time soon.
9 University of Oregon Logo Oregon
10 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Solid win against Florida State, but only beat Wake by 6.
11 Florida State University Logo Florida State They lost badly against UNC, but it was on the road, which tends to hurt you much less.
12 Butler University Logo Butler Beat X, but lost on the road to Creighton. Road losses hurt less.
13 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
14 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Barely beat Clemson this week, but it was on the road.
15 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Good week.
16 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin
17 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati
18 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame
19 University of Florida Logo Florida
20 Saint Mary's College of California Logo Saint Mary's We gained a lot of new information this week and it wasn't good.
21 University of South Carolina Logo South Carolina
22 Texas Christian University Logo TCU Beat a good ISU team at home, and squeaked by a scrappy decent Texas team on the road. (A team that only lost to WVU by 2 this week)
23 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland
24 Duke University Logo Duke Incredibly overrated by the AP. This team shouldn't be anywhere near the top 10. Lost two this week.
25 Xavier University Logo Xavier Lost both road games this week. Both were quality opponents, but losing both is tough.
