Cincinnati
|
LW: 6. Rough week for the Bearcats; they had two big tests this week and failed them both, though both came down to the wire. |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
LW: 15 |
| 14 |
Clemson
|
LW: 8. Starting to see the fallout of the injuries this team has had to deal with. Two tough losses this week to good teams. |
| 15 |
Wichita State
|
LW: NR. Huge win over Cincinnati that will have definite seeding implications. I still believe in the talent and experience of the Shockers |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
LW: 14 |
| 17 |
Arizona
|
LW: 17 |
| 18 |
West Virginia
|
LW: 20 |
| 19 |
Michigan
|
LW: 24. Michigan's been pretty up-and-down all year, but they've built a solid resume and played the other top teams in the Big Ten well |
| 20 |
URI
|
LW: 18 |
| 21 |
Texas A&M
|
LW: 16. This team probably shouldn't be a top-25 team, but the truth is it feels like there aren't too many deserving candidates these days. |
| 22 |
Kentucky
|
LW: 22 |
| 23 |
Florida State
|
LW: NR. Big win over Clemson, and a mediocre-looking win over Pitt. Again, the main thing is not losing in a week where everyone lost |
| 24 |
Houston
|
LW: NR. The biggest winners from this week. They've proven they are right there in the mix for the AAC title. Getting better and better! |
| 25 |
Creighton
|
LW: 23 |
