| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Michigan State
|
The top 3 teams could probably be in any order and I wouldn't disagree - MSU has looked the best lately and get the nod |
| 2 |
Duke
|
|
| 3 |
Villanova
|
They looked off for much of the game vs Butler, but rallied late and showed why they were ranked Number 1 the last few weeks |
| 4 |
Arizona State
|
They played a solid game in a tough road environment against a good team - Giving them the benefit of the doubt on the loss until I see more |
| 5 |
Oklahoma
|
They are playing as well as anyone in the country right now and Trae Young is a legit POY candidate - Arkansas loss is looking better as wel |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
|
| 7 |
Virginia
|
|
| 8 |
Kansas
|
|
| 9 |
Arizona
|
Outside of one weekend early in the year, this team looks about like we expected and deserve a top10 rank |
| 10 |
Xavier
|
They keep winning which is good, but they haven't looked great over the past few weeks - lot of nail biting finishes against weak competitio |
| 11 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 12 |
TCU
|
They looked great even in loss against OU - offense is impressive |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
That domination against UL was one of the best performances of the year - Really encouraging to see them rebound after the UCLA loss |
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 15 |
Texas A&M
|
Maybe i'm over-reacting to the big loss against Bama, but I haven't been impressed with A&Ms play of late |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
|
| 17 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 18 |
Texas Tech
|
|
| 19 |
