Rank	Team	Reason
1	Virginia	no change; taking care of business
2	Michigan State	no change; see above
3	Kansas	up 3; huge win over TTU, refusal to change etc
4	Duke	no change; taking care of business
5	Villanova	down 2; loss to Creighton, but not too far down as they're still one of the best around
6	Xavier	up 1; they may win the BE regular season title, but will have done so without beating Villanova (or coming close)
7	Gonzaga	up 1; the top 10 really solidified itself this week by just winning
8	Purdue	up 1
9	Tennessee	up 1
10	North Carolina	up 2
11	Texas Tech	down 6; maybe too far, but this is largely for that Oklahoma State loss combined with everyone else in the top 10 winning
12	Michigan	up 1
13	Ohio State	up 2
14	Nevada	up 5; losses above them combined with some unconvincing wins by those who did win help them
15	Arizona	down 4; @Oregon isn't too bad, especially considering the circumstances
16	Auburn	down 2; @Florida is tough, but that's a Florida team fighting for their life too
17	URI	no change; that La Salle win was UGLY but a win
18	Cincinnati	no change; just a sluggish team lately, losing until this week with a tough game against Tulsa, winning unimpressive against bad opponent
19	West Virginia	up 2
20	Wichita State	no change; WVU's wins were better though WSU didn't lose
21	Clemson	down 5; people winning below them hurts even if the Va Tech loss isn't that bad
22	Kentucky	new; and they're back after beating Arkansas and murdering Missouri
23	Saint Mary's	no change; ate a pair of cupcakes this week
24	NC State	new; truly on the rise, hard to believe they won't be ranked this week and a tourney lock
25	TCU	new; on a nice little winning streak to close out the year, seemingly coming into their own at the right time
