| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
(-) Everyone good lost this week, so they just stay in first, the loss they got could have been much worse. |
| 2 |
Michigan State
|
(+4) Michigan State just won what could be their biggest game of the season. |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
(-1) Nova had their first bad loss of the season, but as long as they recover, they're still good to me. 23-2 is still extraordinary. |
| 4 |
Cincinnati
|
(-) I didn't feel that Cincinnati deserved a free pass into top three without even beating WSU yet, so for now they're four. |
| 5 |
Xavier
|
(-) Xavier didn't do anything of notoriety over the week besides beating Butler. so they're still good. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
(+1) Being the best in the Big 12 isn't easy, if TTU can win their next few games I could easily see them in the top 5. |
| 7 |
Ohio State
|
(+10) Ohio State was only the second or third best team in my opinion, the win over Purdue has helped them significantly. |
| 8 |
Purdue
|
(-5) Dropped four spots from Ohio State, one from Michigan State. |
| 9 |
URI
|
(+2) As long as URI keeps winning, they'll surpass everyone else. |
| 10 |
Duke
|
(-3) Duke's loss to UNC won't do much to hurt them, and this week is bad enough where they stay top 10. |
| 11 |
Clemson
|
(+1) Clemson had the easiest week in the top 25, but they didn't lose so they move up. |
| 12 |
Gonzaga
|
(+2) Gonzaga's win over SMC will help them a lot, as long as they just keep winning. |
| 13 |
Auburn
|
(-4) Auburn had a home loss to Texas A&M, but they still have a stellar record. |
| 14 |
