RankTeamReason
1 Villanova University Logo Villanova After this week, Villanova is still standing meaning they deserve to be number 1
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Their body of work deserves to keep them at #2. Would be #1 if not for a great Grayson Allen performance early on
3 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State Undefeated with wins over Xaiver and Kansas. That's a better resume than most of the country.
4 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State I put them over Miami simply because of the teams they have played and beaten so far. They've been willing to go on the road and win.
5 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Legitimate top 5 team, but best win has been at Minnesota, which is now not looking as strong as it did last week.
6 Duke University Logo Duke
7 Xavier University Logo Xavier
8 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky
9 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Despite the loss to Arizona this week, I still think A&M is a top 10 team. After this week it has to come down to eye test to help rank.
10 Texas Christian University Logo TCU Hard to keep an undefeated team with tournament quality wins outside of the top 15. Good wins over quality SMU and Nevada teams this week.
11 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Their wins haven't been great, but they have been consistent.
12 Florida State University Logo Florida State Win over Florida gives them the 1 quality win they needed to jump into the top 12 as an undefeated team.
13 Purdue University Logo Purdue It's been hard to bring them up this far after Atlantis, but if anyone has proven to fix their issues, its Purdue.
14 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga
15 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Win over UVA this week gets WVU slotted in the top 15 ahead of UVA.
16 University of Virginia Logo Virginia
17 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Only reason they didn't drop lower is that ASU is a legitimate team and this week was too crazy with everyone else.
18 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame
19 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Two straight losses, but also both losses to top 25 teams.
20 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall
21 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech
22 University of Florida Logo Florida Only reason they didn't fall out of the top 25 was because they pulled out the win against Cincinnati. Went cold this week.
23 Baylor University Logo Baylor
24 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee
25 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Texas A&M and Alabama wins this week gets them back in the top 25 and Rawle Alkins back can help them climb.
