 Kansas

(+0) They have the best resume/talent combination |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
(+1) Maybe got lucky against Northwestern but still playing well with some of the best wins so far |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(+0) Gonzaga loss makes them look not as solid but still very talented team that will be one of the favorites |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
(+1) Excellent win against the Zags, favorite to win the SEC especially with UK's loss |
| 5 |
Virginia
|
(+1) Still playing very controlled Virginia basketball, VCU kept it close but the result wasn't in doubt |
| 6 |
Gonzaga
|
(-4) Still very good and beat Duke, but had a very close game against Washington and a loss to a great Tennessee |
| 7 |
Nevada
|
(+0) Close game against Grand Canyon but still taking care of business |
| 8 |
Auburn

(+1) Have performed well in many games against solid teams |
| 11 |
Virginia Tech
|
(+1) Have recovered well from Penn St. loss |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
(+1) Several solid wins so far will serve them well come March |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
(+1) This team had a couple early losses but look to be solidifying and finding their footing |
| 14 |
Ohio State
|
(+1) Good wins and seem to be leading the middling mess of Big 10 teams behind Michigan and MSU |
| 15 |
Buffalo
|
(+6) They have at least a chance to go undefeated, with a pretty soft schedule and some harder games behind them |
| 16 |
Villanova
|
(+4) They're doing better after the early semi-collapse, Nova will surely be a very solid team come tournament time |
| 17 |
Arizona State
|
(+6) Have only lost to Nevada, and that was a close game. The Sun Devils are playing well |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
(NR) Good rivalry win, these Big Ten teams are hard to rank as they all beat each other |
| 19 |
Cincinnati
|
(NR) Also had a good rivalry win, they've only lost to the Buckeyes |
| 20 |
Kentucky
|
(-12) This team is talented and will be a threat come March, but right now they've lost to every good team they've seen |
| 21 |
Furman
|
(NR) Villanova win looks better and better, despite some bad efficiency stats and performances I have to rank them |
| 22 |
Houston
|
(+0) Anyone that is still undefeated this far into the season deserves to be ranked |
| 23 |
Maryland
|
(-6) Losing to Purdue doesn't look that bad, and it was a close game |
| 24 |
Wisconsin
|
(-8) Lost to Marquette but it was in OT and this team is still going to be good |
| 25 |
St. John's
|
(+0) Next Five: Mississippi St, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arizona, Florida |
