Virginia

Merry Christmas all. |
| 2 |
Michigan
|
|
| 3 |
Nevada
|
Dont forget that they won @ ASU, who just beat KU there. They really don't play anyone else and need to run the table to finish in my top 10 |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
|
| 5 |
Duke
|
|
| 6 |
St. John's
|
@Seton Hall and home against Marquette next. Win those two games and they will probably be in everyone's top 10. Lose? Be unranked. |
| 7 |
Houston
|
|
| 8 |
Kansas
|
Thanks to the refs, they don't lose too much ground in my poll. |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Fairly close road loss against a good Duke team doesn't hurt them much. |
| 10 |
Gonzaga
|
Won't play another good team the rest of the year. Won't be moving up much from this spot for me. Shame they lost to TN & unproven UNC. |
| 11 |
Florida State
|
|
| 12 |
Michigan State
|
|
| 13 |
NC State
|
Their only loss is @ a good Wisconsin team on the road. Beat a team in most people's top 10 in Auburn. |
| 14 |
Auburn
|
Bad week for the Tigers. Lost on the road and barely beat Murray State @ home. |
| 15 |
Marquette
|
|
| 16 |
Virginia Tech
|
Haven't played anyone this year. Won't play anyone significant until mid-January. They are stuck here until they prove themselves. |
| 17 |
Arizona State
|
Lost badly on the road, but they get credit for beating Kansas @ home. Thanks Refs! |
| 18 |
Buffalo
|
Good wins @Cuse, @WVU, & SanFran, but looked lost at times @MU. They play no one else, & need to keep winning to not lose ground. |
| 19 |
Mississippi State
|
Only loss is a close game @ASU. |
| 20 |
Wisconsin
|
Lost close games against Virginia and @ Marquette. Good wins @ Iowa, @ Oklahoma, and @Xavier. |
| 21 |
Oklahoma
|
|
| 22 |
Nebraska
|
|
| 23 |
Seton Hall
|
Looked good in their important win @ Maryland. Win AT Kentucky helping them forget the Nebraska loss. Must beat St. Johns this week. |
| 24 |
Kentucky
|
Beat a UNC team that has one good win this year (their home win against Gonzaga). Value of this win with depend on UNC's results. |
| 25 |
Iowa State
|
Finally back at full strength. Could do damage in the Big 12. OKSt and Kansas looming next week. |
