RankTeamReason
1 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Best resume of the 1 loss teams, but it's really close with Duke.
2 Duke University Logo Duke See above.
3 Villanova University Logo Villanova Still a great team, Butler has their number, tough road loss.
4 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State Tough road loss to in-state rival, still with wins over X and KU, have a case for best 1 loss resume
5 Xavier University Logo Xavier Didn't look great against DePaul, their loss against ASU was made slightly worse
6 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Big win = big jump. Also their loss to Arkansas got a bit better with Arkansas beating Tenn this week.
7 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Still haven't beaten enough quality opponents to be a top 5 team.
8 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State A 2 loss team with talent, but without the resume, no movement here this week as that didn't change
9 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Lack of top 25 wins holds them back
10 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Didn't look great against Texas although they got the win, and the 2 losses prevent them from being higher
11 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Moving up as a product of the teams in front losing more than what they did this week.
12 Texas Christian University Logo TCU Tough 1 point loss against a good Okla team won't drop them too far.
13 University of Arizona Logo Arizona Small jump here with the win over ASU, but still have 3 losses, and the win against TAMU just lost a bit of quality
14 Purdue University Logo Purdue I know you want 15, but not this week.
15 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) 2 wins, teams in front lost, but not enough for a big jump
16 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky 2 wins, teams in front lost, but not enough for a big jump
17 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M The loss wasn't necessarily the problem, it was also the manner in which they lost by 22 points.
18 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Quality win this week, small jump
19 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Not much change this week for Gonzaga, just beat the teams they were supposed to
20 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall Quality win this week over Creighton, small jump.
21 University of Cincinnati Logo Cincinnati Didn't do much to hurt or help them this week.
22 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas Should make a splash into the rankings this week at 22 due to the win against Tenn
23 Florida State University Logo Florida State Yeah they lost, but it was to Duke, not going to knock them much for that one and they played them tough.
24 Baylor University Logo Baylor Loss to a quality team, but still a loss.
25 Clemson University Logo Clemson Need some more quality wins, but they look talented enough and at 12-1 belong here this week
