| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Villanova
|
Been very good so far, just killed Georgetown and UConn. LW: 1. reminder about resume re-evaluate blah blah blah |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
Final 2 1-loss teams: Villanova and Virginia. Virginia rises into the top 2 after beating GT. LW: 3. |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
They've looked great these last 2 games, and without the WKU loss this team is possibly #1. LW: 4. |
| 4 |
Duke
|
Picking up a nice road win over Miami makes me feel better about Duke being top 5. LW: 7. |
| 5 |
West Virginia
|
Only team to beat Virginia, and they stay barely ahead of Michigan State and Xavier. LW: 2. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
They finally looked like the team before Ohio State against Indiana, and they move up a few spots. LW: 9. |
| 7 |
Xavier
|
May have the best resume out of 5-7, but they also have had way too many games where they've escaped. LW: 8. |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
The Big 12 is going to beat up on eachother enough for Kansas to sneak out with the B12 title, aren't they? LW: 18. |
| 9 |
North Carolina
|
In most years UNC wouldn't be top 10. This isn't most years. They picked up a nice win against Clemson, even though it was at home. LW: 14. |
| 10 |
Arizona
|
Arizona rises into the top 10 after beating Cal and Stanford. LW: 16. |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
They had a close game against Northwestern, but ended up easily beating Minnesota after that. LW: 21. |
| 12 |
Cincinnati
|
In a week where a ton of top 25 teams lost, Cincinnati came out with 2 wins. LW: 19. |
| 13 |
Oklahoma
|
Not a good week for Oklahoma, as they lost twice on the road to unranked teams. LW: 6. |

Not a good week for Texas Tech either, they lost twice on the road to unranked teams too. LW: 5. |

Clemson

Lost again in Chapel Hill, then beat Notre Dame at home. LW: 13. |
| 17 |
Tennessee

A loss on the road to Missouri was not so good, but they beat SCar on the road, which Kentucky couldn't do. |

Win over Gonzaga lifts them into the rankings. LW: Unranked. |

2 losses to probably the next best teams after the ranked teams in the AAC drops them a lot. LW: 11. |
