| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
Winning at Texas Tech gives Duke the best resume in the country. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
Undefeated, but they don't have Duke's quality wins. |
| 3 |
Michigan
|
|
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
|
| 6 |
Nevada
|
Lucky to still be undefeated after struggling against several mediocre teams. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
Their trend of playing down to the competition finally caught up to them. |
| 8 |
Virginia Tech
|
Moved up solely due to teams above them losing. |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Not penalizing TT after a close loss to #1 Duke. |
| 10 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 11 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 12 |
Ohio State
|
|
| 13 |

|
| 23 |
St. John's
|
They haven't played anyone yet, but they also haven't had a bad game yet. |
| 24 |
Arizona State
|
Wasn't considering them after bad games against Georgia and Candy. Win over Kansas keeps them in for now. |
| 25 |
Murray State
|
I don't like to reward losses, but Murray State has played well and nearly won at Auburn. |
