Arizona State is the story of the year so far. They keep winning and have better wins than most of the other teams in this poll. |

Xavier escaped this week. They did not play their best. But what they did show is that Bluiett is a winner when they need him to be. |

Wichita State is a reslient team as they have had to find ways to come back. They couldn't do it this week. They need McDuffie back asap. |

I stick by the fact that I can't keep an unbeaten TCU team that is getting quality victories out of the top 10. But it is a short leash. |

I'm not as high on Seton Hall. I put them towards the bottom of the poll because their loss to Rutgers outweighs their wins right now. |

Bottom of the poll has been the hardest. Even though ND has lost 2 out 3, I couldn't find a better worthy 25th team this week. |
