| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
Staying at #1 after another undefeated week. LW: 1. Friendly reminder that i use resume and re-evaluate. Still tired from flu too. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Gap is very close between them and Virginia. LW: 2. |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
First team to 23 wins! (Like 98% sure of this) Anyway, Purdue has been playing extremely well since Atlantis. LW: 3. |
| 4 |
Xavier
|
2 close games, but Michigan State's struggles allow them to rise. LW: 5. |
| 5 |
Michigan State
|
The Nassar scandal seems to have shaken up this team. LW: 4. |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
I have been severely underestimating Auburn, and now they're on the 2-line. LW: 13. |
| 7 |
Texas Tech
|
With Kansas falling, Texas Tech is now my highest ranked Big 12 team, after beating Texas and TCU. LW: 11. |
| 8 |
Cincinnati
|
Not losing means Cincinnati is rising. Close between them and Kansas. LW: 9. |
| 9 |
Kansas
|
Oklahoma State loss doesn't drop them out of the top 10. LW: 7. |
| 10 |
Duke
|
Barely staying in the top 10 after that awful loss to St. John's. LW: 6. |
| 11 |
Arizona
|
Tough loss to Washington, and they're no longer in the top 10. LW: 8. |
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
2 wins over not tourney B1G teams. LW: 14. |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
Tennessee has been flying under-the-radar, IMO. LW: 15. |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
Maybe Kansas State stopped their freefall? Or maybe the flu did? LW: 10. |
| 15 |
Clemson
|
Picked up a good win against UNC. LW: 16. |
| 16 |
Oklahoma
|
traeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoungtraeyoung ~ESPN. Tough week for Oklahoma. LW: 12. |
| 17 |
North Carolina
|
Didn't fall to an opponent they should beat this week (Pittsburgh), so that's good. LW: 17. |
| 18 |
Seton Hall
|
I know i'm high on Seton Hall, but they're heavily underrated IMO. Despite the Villanova loss, they stay in place. LW: 18. |
| 19 |
Gonzaga
|
Taking a closer look at Gonzaga, i actually thought their resume was better than St. Mary's, and they jump into the top 20. LW: 22. |
| 20 |
Kentucky
|
Only dropping 1 spot after the loss to Missouri. staying in the top 20. LW: 19. |
| 21 |
Saint Mary's
|
Close game against San Diego, and i just don't like their resume looking closer at it, with basically Gonzaga the only good thing. LW: 20. |
| 22 |
URI
|
Took care of business in the conference this week. LW: 24. |
| 23 |
Michigan
|
Michigan is back in the top 25 after beating Northwestern and Minnesota. LW: Unranked. |
| 24 |
Creighton
|
Loss to Villanova only knocks them down 1 spot. LW: 23. |
| 25 |
Wichita State
|
Barely hanging on. LW: 21. First 5 out: Nevada, Arizona State, Miami (FL), Louisville, Florida. Dropped out: #25 Arizona State. |
