| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 West Virginia
|
I went back and forth between Nova and WVU. I went with WVU because 1. They haven't lost since the 1st game of the year and 2. They had the |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
(cont. from above) biggest win of the week over a legit OU team. WVU and Nova at this point are 1a and 1b. |
| 3 |
Virginia
|
UVA's only loss is to my #1 team. The beat down of UNC plus the losses this week moves them up big. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 5 |
Duke
|
I wanted to put them lower. Right now I don't believe in them. They struggle on the road, which is not good in the ACC. Frosh need to grow ^ |
| 6 |
Wichita State
|
They are looking really good with McDuffie back. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
Tough loss on the road to Providence. Tough week ahead too. But this week gives them a chance to move back up. |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
|
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Huge win this week going to KU and winning. |
| 10 |
Arizona State
|
|
| 11 |
Oklahoma
|
Really struggled trying to figure out where to put them. But I came away impressed with them against a tough WVU defense. |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
|
| 13 |
Kansas
|
|
| 14 |
Texas A&M
|
Injuries and Suspensions aside, A&M has still started out rough in the SEC. |
| 15 |
TCU
|
|
| 16 |
Cincinnati
|
Beating SMU like they did was great. Offense looked improved and defense was what we expect. |
| 17 |
Seton Hall
|
Winning at Butler is a good win. They deserve to jump up big this week. |
| 18 |
North Carolina
|
Bad week for UNC. Two losses, if it wasn't for a lot of other losses in the top 25, they may have been lower. |
| 19 |
Kentucky
|
I debated where to place them. Came down to the fact that UNC beat Tennessee in Knoxville and Kentucky didn't. |
| 20 |
Gonzaga
|
I really wanted Gonzaga to be higher, but I just can't justify putting them above other winners this week like Cincy or Seton Hall |
| 21 |
Miami (FL)
|
Bad loss to GT. I like them because of how athletic they are, but I also feel like they haven't put it all together yet. |
| 22 |
Auburn
|
Auburn keeps winning |
| 23 |
Clemson
|
So does Clemson |
| 24 |
Tennessee
|
Kentucky was never really in the game this week against Tennessee. But they are put here because I can't put them above Auburn |
| 25 |
Florida State
|
Great win over UNC this week, tough loss to Miami. I think this week was the toughest yet. I changed everything at least 20 times. |
