| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga

If I'm Gonzaga I really don't want to go into the NCAAT undefeated. I personally think they may lose to st Mary's in the final |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Clinch on Wednesday with a win |
| 3 |
Kansas

| 4 |
Arizona
|
Tough Game vs a weak Washington team (this year) huge game coming up which could decide the PAC this week |
| 5 |
UCLA
|
Proved USC is indeed trash. Gotta win this week to stay in the #1 seed hunt |
| 6 |
Oregon
|
Conference of Champions is extremely top heavy |
| 7 |
Louisville
|
My Favorite to win the ACC tournament as long as they don't play Virginia |
| 8 |
West Virginia
|
Texas Tech gave them a scare but survived to move into a 2 |
| 9 |
Baylor
|
Ouch. |
| 10 |
Duke
|
Honestly I want to Die |
| 11 |
Wisconsin
|
Big win vs Maryland to keep up with Purdue |
| 12 |
Kentucky
|
Kentucky isn't as good as their record shows but they definitely are a top 20 team |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
North Carolina just mandhandled Virginia but lost to Duke. Probably will win the ACC regular season at this point |
| 14 |
Florida
|
Continue the slow climb up! |
| 15 |
Purdue
|
They are in the spot.... |
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
Moving back up. Hopefully they'll get a nice seed in the NCAAT |
| 17 |
SMU
|
The two American schools climbing! |
| 18 |
Florida State
|
Bad loss vs Pitt. Gotta win some games to keep up for the 2 byes |
| 19 |
Saint Mary's
|
A lot of people said they'd lose to BYU. Lol no |
| 20 |
Butler
|
For once Butler had an easy week |
| 21 |
Wichita State
|
Believe it or not since the MVC goes off the RPI for tiebreakers Illinois State would get the 1 in the event of a Tie. As it stands now |
| 22 |
Notre Dame
|
Moved into the only thing they are competing for in the ACC: 2 byes |
| 23 |
Creighton
|
Seton Hall is fighting for their life at this point so I don't blame Creighton for this loss |
| 24 |
Maryland
|
Rip Maryland's hopes of Big10 champs. Since I have no room, I'd just like to mention that Xavier needs to Wins 3 of their last 4 before lock |
| 25 |
Virginia
|
I was really considering knocking them off.They have to pick it up now. [Next 5: VCU, Dayton, South Carolina, MTSU, Vermont |
