West Virginia

Oklahoma
|
LW: 10. Big week for Oklahoma, back-to-back wins over TCU and Texas Tech. Still not 100% sold on them but they've earned a top-5 spot. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
LW: 8 |
| 7 |
Duke

LW: 9 |
| 8 |
Xavier

Wichita State
|
LW: 11 |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
LW: 4. Honestly the loss to Michigan wasn't as bad as the near-loss to Rutgers. This is temporary, I think; they'll be top-5 again by March. |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
LW: 12 |
| 12 |
North Carolina
|
LW: 21. Decent week. I think I dropped them far too low last week after a couple of OK losses. Wins over UM + OSU looking better and better |
| 13 |
Clemson
|
LW: 15 |
| 14 |
Arizona
|
LW: 14 |
| 15 |
Seton Hall
|
LW: 13 |
| 16 |
Auburn
|
LW: 16 |
| 17 |
Arizona State
|
LW: 6. The party is officially over. Barely beating Oregon St at home is embarrassing. Still, this team has potential for elite performance |
| 18 |
Tennessee
|
LW: 23. Solid wins over Vandy and A&M this week. How nice is that Purdue win going to look come March! |
| 19 |
Kentucky
|
LW: NR. Like Florida, this is a team I'm not quite sure how to rank. They're not Final Four contenders yet, but I wouldn't count them out |
| 20 |
Gonzaga
|
LW: 22 |
| 21 |
Michigan
|
LW: NR. Best win of the year? It did belong to ASU, with their win at Allen Fieldhouse; now I'd say it belongs to Michigan! |
| 22 |
Cincinnati
|
LW: 18 |
| 23 |
Ohio State
|
LW: NR. I was surprised to see that OSU didn't pick up any bad losses in non-con. The problem is they didn't get any good wins, either. |
| 24 |
Creighton
|
LW: 24 |
| 25 |
TCU
|
LW: 19. They've had a rough go so far in Big 12 play, but they're still a deep, well-rounded team. Need a great win though. |
