RankTeamReason
1 Villanova University Logo Villanova (-) Beat Hofstra like they should have. Up to 7 straight double digit victories.
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (-) Back to back 100 point games against the cupcakes. Remain the 1-B to Nova's 1-A.
3 Duke University Logo Duke (-) Obliterated Evansville. Start ACC play with big game @ home against FSU.
4 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State (+1) Destroyed the cupcakes. Undefeated heading into the (18) Arizona game, should be a great one.
5 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M (+3) Benefitting from UK and UNC losing. Start SEC play @Bama which should be great.
6 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia (+4) Haven't lost since the aTm game. Head to Stillwater in what should be a tough game to start the Big 12.
7 Xavier University Logo Xavier (+2) Played close with Marshall at home but came back to beat UNI on the road. They'll take 1 loss heading into Big East play.
8 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State (+2) Didn't look too hot in their two games after getting smacked by Trae Young. Need to pick it up ahead of American play.
9 University of Kansas Logo Kansas (+3) Destroyed a bad Stanford team in Sacramento. Big 12 championship run starts @Texas.
10 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (+3) They keep blowing out teams they should blow out. ACC starts with a bad BC team.
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue (+5) I'm done sleeping on the Boilermakers. The WKU loss still is bad but Tennessee has really helped them out. 2nd best in B1G.
12 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina (-7) Just as I bought in to my Heels they lose to Wofford at home. Bounced back to show it was an abberation against OSU in NOLA.
13 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) (-8) Lost to NMSU. Get a good mid major in MTSU next. Don't have a resume, but I think this is a top 15 team in the country.
14 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky (-7) Lost to a UCLA team I don't think is that good, teams behind them have better resumes but they have talent, they'll figure it out.
15 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma (+3) Destroyed Northwestern, Trae Young has these guys surging. Big 12 opener against (16) TCU will be a great litmus test for both teams.
16 Texas Christian University Logo TCU (-1) They've played all home games, that will continue against (15) OU but it'll show us if this team is for real.
17 Baylor University Logo Baylor (-) Head to Lubbock to open Big 12 play, should be telling for both teams.
18 University of Arizona Logo Arizona (-) Huge tilt against (5) ASU on Saturday, they should defend their home court.
19 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga (-7) Lost to SDSU in San Diego, probably a loss thats going to cost them on Selection Sunday
20 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati (-) Open American play with Memphis and Temple. Should be right there with Wichita State all year.
21 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee (-) Smacked Wake on the road in a game I don't think they were favored in (???). Should challenge the top of the SEC this year.
22 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall (-) Open up at home against (25) Creighton. Should be a great game.
23 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech (-) Get to further prove themselves against (17) Baylor at home to start the Big 12.
24 Creighton University Logo Creighton (-) Beat a pretty good mid major in UT Arlington. Get to show they belong against (22) Seton Hall on the road.
25 University of Notre Dame Logo Notre Dame (-) I remain higher on this team than most. (Considered: Arkansas, Clemson, Texas, Houston, Louisville)
