2 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia (+3) Pulled away from OU at home late. Undefeated in the Big 12 and the United States.
3 University of Virginia Logo Virginia (+8) My huge jump of the week. DESTROYED VT on the road and dominated UNC at home. Only loss is on the road to the now (2) team.
4 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State (-3) Got assblasted (s/o Outlaw) @OSU. It's basketball, it happens. Still super talented and the best team in the B1G.
5 Duke University Logo Duke (-3) They take another bad road loss in ACC play. The defensive issues are very real and need to be fixed if they want to reach their goals.

9 Wichita State University Logo Wichita State (-1) Like I said correcting from last week so they drop 2 spots. Destroyed a very weird Houston team. Conference cupcakes coming up.
10 Purdue University Logo Purdue (+2) Took care of business. Two road games this week, Minny is looking depleted but Michigan could be tough if they get hot from 3.
