Kansas

LW: 6 |
| 11 |
Duke
|
LW: 4. Duke's not a title contender right now, and Grayson has been a major disappointment. The ceiling might be a 2-seed and Elite 8 |
| 12 |
Tennessee
|
LW: 17. Their past 3 games have been monstrous blowouts over decent opponents. Definitely trending up but a tough week ahead (@UK, @Bama) |
| 13 |
Saint Mary's
|
LW: 18. All they've really done is not lose--that's enough to move up in a week where top-25 teams have been falling left and right |
| 14 |
West Virginia
|
LW: 14 |
| 15 |
Oklahoma
|
LW: 13 |
| 16 |
Gonzaga
|
LW: 20 |
| 17 |
Kentucky
|
LW: 16. |
| 18 |
Arizona
|
LW: 11. Loss @UW probably not as bad as it looks. Still, though, the Wildcats haven't done much resume-wise and don't have many more chances |
| 19 |
North Carolina
|
LW: 15 |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
LW: 19 |
| 21 |
URI
|
LW: 22 |

Seton Hall

LW: 24 |

Michigan
|
LW: NR. I get the sense that this team plays to its competition. Looked fantastic playing MSU/Purdue; scraped by Minny and Maryland |
| 24 |
Creighton
|
LW: 25 |
| 25 |
Butler
|
LW: NR. These guys are on a roll. 4 straight blowouts. Not sure if I'll have them ranked again next week; X and Nova will be tough! |
