Submitted on Monday, November 12, 2018 at 2:47AM EST
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
I don't want to overreact but give them the championship |
| 2 |
Kansas
|
Solid win against a good #11 Michigan State team |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
Did what they were supposed to do, staying at #3 |
| 4 |
Virginia
|
Cruised in two easy games, moving up a spot to replace UK |
| 5 |
Auburn
|
Looked dominant against an experienced UW team |
| 6 |
Nevada
|
Great on paper, didn't show any reason to get moved down |
| 7 |
North Carolina
|
Not much to go on this early in the year and they didn't look great against Wofford. Not dropping too far since I respect the road game |
| 8 |
Kentucky
|
Looked pretty bad against Duke, but its also Duke |
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
Probably would've moved up a spot over Kentucky but they played a D2 school |
| 10 |
Kansas State
|
No reason to change, took care of business |
| 11 |
Michigan State
|
Lost to #2 Kansas but fought back in the second half and looked like they could compete |
| 12 |
Syracuse
|
|
| 13 |
Florida State
|
Beat a decent UF team pretty solidly |
| 14 |
Villanova
|
|
| 15 |
Nebraska
|
Bad opponents but absolutely dominated. I mean, 106-37? Looking forward to them playing someone real |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
|
| 17 |
Marquette
|
|
| 18 |
UCLA
|
|
| 19 |
Indiana
|
|
| 20 |
Michigan
|
|
| 21 |
Mississippi State
|
|
| 22 |
Washington
|
Didn't look great against #5 Auburn but it was an early road game and I still like this team a lot. Dropped them a couple spots |
| 23 |
West Virginia
|
Lost to #25 Buffalo at home |
| 24 |
Miami (FL)
|
|
| 25 |
Buffalo
|
Win @ #23 WVU is the most impressive road win of the year. Also looked good against St. Francis |
