3 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Played Duke tough, beat UNC in winning PK80
4 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Not as impressed by win over Kentucky as most likely are.

11 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Haven't played anyone to warrant top 10 ranking as of yet.

13 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Looked good in preseason NIT.
14 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Did not look very good against MSU, but pedigree still has them in top 15 for now.
