1 Duke University Logo Duke Not even going to do a +/- from last week since I missed last week. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a great new years eve.
2 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Like I said before, Duke's and MSU's resumes are pretty comparable, but I chose the head-to-head win as the tiebreaker.
3 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State This poll may look a lot like last week's poll, but honestly, I think the poll got a lot of stuff right.
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova
5 Xavier University Logo Xavier
6 Texas A&M University Logo Texas A&M Another situation where head-to-head comes in handy. I value H2H more than others.

9 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma
10 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State
11 Purdue University Logo Purdue
12 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina

14 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky
15 University of Arizona Logo Arizona
16 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech
17 University of Miami (Florida) Logo Miami (FL) Had a relook at Miami, their schedule has been pretty weak so far.
18 Texas Christian University Logo TCU I already was a doubter of TCU, but the closeness of their loss against Oklahoma keeps them somewhat high.
19 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall Also, why did Baylor have to fall off? I wanted a reverse BUTT :(
