RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State 30 some undefeated teams and these guys are still my #2. Have looked absolutely incredible in their two prime time games
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas I think I mentioned in my last ballot my displeasure over KU missing Feast Week action. Jayhawks play Cuse Saturday in Miami
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova This homer would've loved to see them challenged by the best in Atlantis, but Brunson and Bridges are the real deal
5 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame That game against Wichita State could be the best of the week, but it gets lost among ESPN's PK80 hysteria. Bonzie Colson for NPOY
6 University of Florida Logo Florida I will qualify my ND comment by saying I missed this double-OT thriller. Florida should be best in SEC
7 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky December is when it gets interesting for UK; VT, UCLA, and Louisville to round out the non-con
8 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State The losers in my favorite game of the week still showed us what their ceiling looks like for this season. #9 seems right for now.
9 University of Louisville Logo Louisville Two rankedish opponents (Purdue and Hall) for Louisville this week, but they're in my top ten now until they lose.
10 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati They got pushed around by Buffalo, but they were able to brave the Feast Week upsetmania
11 University of Southern California Logo USC Now the heir to the throne in Pac-12 football and basketball
12 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina That performance against MSU to close out the PK80 was just pitiful. UNC could be quick to move up or down for me before ACC play
13 University of Minnesota Logo Minnesota That Bama game was certainly something. I'm going to take my notes from the first 28 minutes and tick the Gophers up a couple
14 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Each of their six wins has come by double digits, including against West Va, USC, Oklahoma State
15 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) They have played NOBODY. The game against Minnesota will show us where those two teams are
16 University of Alabama Logo Alabama See Minnesota note, Collin Sexton can really play. Avery Johnson should be waiting and ready for a 30 for 30
17 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Ten days until the Villanova game, the Zags are gonna Zag. They'll lose to better teams and beat worse teams.
18 Baylor University Logo Baylor They win the Hall of Fame Classic and now are hit with Xavier and Wichita State in the same week. Still no losses
19 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Undefeated on American soil, but could be 0-2 vs the SEC in an hour or so
20 Creighton University Logo Creighton Big strides for this team, they belonged in every minute of that Baylor game
21 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA Ugh, fine, I'll move them up
22 University of Virginia Logo Virginia The Reddit community slept on the Cavs hard
23 Providence College Logo Providence BC to be the 11th Big East team?
24 Xavier University Logo Xavier It feels weird to not rank Arizona but I see them incurring the greatest drop in rank from one week to the next after going 0-3 in Atlantis
25 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada Yes, Nevada! 26 Seton Hall, 27 Mich, 28 Arizona, 29 Northwestern, 30 Arkansas, thinking about St. John's
