| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
As impressive as they have been, I'm disappointed that Gameday isn't going to West Lafayette this week. |
| 2 |
Villanova
|
Nova took care of Hall at home. Two home games this week, then head to Providence and Xavier who are vengeful. |
| 3 |
Purdue
|
Two tough games for Purdue this week. Home against Ohio St, then at Michigan St. Two movies. |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Toughest game of the year is this week against Purdue. Can't wait to see it. |
| 5 |
Xavier
|
Top 5 remains the same as they try to separate themselves away from everyone else. X has two challenging road games this week. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
Once again, only top Big 12 team to not lose this week. They looked great against TCU. |
| 7 |
Cincinnati
|
The fact that Cincy has 0 conference losses and Wichita has 3 makes me believe that when they play, it won't be close. |
| 8 |
Auburn
|
Auburn is in the top 10. No, this isn't football. |
| 9 |
Duke
|
LOLOL |
| 10 |
Kansas
|
I underranked these guys last week, and I know they lost at home again, but I feel this is the most appropriate ranking for them. |
| 11 |
Ohio State
|
Two of the best records in the B1G face off this week. If OSU didn't lose on that buzzer beater, it would be an undefeated matchup. |
| 12 |
Tennessee
|
True test for the Vols this week when they head to Lexington. Winning at Bama won't be easy either. |
| 13 |
Arizona
|
Heartbreaking loss for Zona. Still clearly the best team in the PAC-12 as ASU keeps struggling. |
| 14 |
Gonzaga
|
Nice win against BYU last week. They won't have many more quality opponents left until St. Mary's on the road (this Saturday). |
| 15 |
Oklahoma
|
The Trae Young's (according to ESPN) fell short to Hook 'em. Intriguing match up vs a struggling WVU team this week though. |
| 16 |
Clemson
|
Huge bounce back win at home against UNC. Looks like these guys will actually make the tourney this year. |
| 17 |
Saint Mary's
|
I'm 100% underranking these guys. Solid win against USD, as Gonzaga at home will be another test. |
| 18 |
URI
|
If URI can win out the rest of the A-10, they will be getting a generous seed come tourney time. |
| 19 |
Miami (FL)
|
I completely missed Three Point Chain U's loss to FSU two weeks ago, but a bunch of teams lost this week, moving the U inside the top 20. |
| 20 |
West Virginia
|
WVU is turning into a dumpster fire. At least they blew out K-State at home. |
| 21 |
North Carolina
|
The best 7-loss team in the country! |
| 22 |
Michigan
|
Scary win against a free falling Minnesota team. Yet they are back in the rankings this week, and they have two trap road games. |
| 23 |
Kentucky
|
It's tough to win at Mizzou. That place was rocking. I'm pumped when Tennessee comes to town this week. |
| 24 |
Wichita State
|
Third conference loss of the year for Shocker Nation. Really guys? |
| 25 |
Nevada
|
Wolfpack enter the top 25 for the first time since week 4. Hopefully they can survive for longer than a week. |
