RankTeamReason
1 Duke University Logo Duke Very good wins against Kentucky, Tech, Indiana, and Auburn with their only loss against Gonzaga.
2 University of Michigan Logo Michigan Was my number #1 but they struggled a decent bit against Binghamton. To be #1, you gotta be consistent!
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Their loss to ASU looking less of a quality loss. Quality wins against Marquette, Michigan State, Tennessee, and Nova.
4 University of Virginia Logo Virginia Wisconsin win is looking less appealing, but they are still undefeated and looking good in all of their games.
5 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Strong team. Win against Gonzaga, Memphis, and Wake. Only loss to Kansas.
6 University of Nevada, Reno Logo Nevada Undefeated. Not many pretty wins. ASU win looking not as good. Struggled a few times.
7 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech I look highly on Tech. A very solid defense and only lost to Duke in which Tech was leading most of the way. Great team.
8 Florida State University Logo Florida State Solid wins against LSU, Purdue, UCONN, and now Saint Louis. Really good team.
9 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Struggled against UNC and Washington. Some solid wins.
10 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State I think this is the sneaky B10 winner. Watch out for the Spartans.
11 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech Solid team. But, I think they have more to prove in ACC play and can make it to the top ten.
12 Marquette University Logo Marquette Although some bad losses to Indiana and a loss to Kansas, Marquette is a solid team and will make a run in the BE.
13 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina An interesting mix of games. I think ACC play will define this team.
14 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Win against Cinci is looking great. Only bad loss to Cuse'. Watch out for Ohio State!
15 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Big loss to Duke and to a good Seton Hall team. But, win against UNC and a solid Louisville win puts them in a good spot!
16 Auburn University Logo Auburn Auburn is a team I'm still not sure about. They have good wins vs Dayton and Washington, but struggled with Murray State.
17 Mississippi State University Logo Mississippi State Solid BYU win. Only loss to ASU.
18 North Carolina State University Logo NC State Only loss to Wisconsin. Quality Auburn win. Put them between the two. ACC play will define them.
19 University of Houston Logo Houston Undefeated and some "quality" wins against LSU and Oregon. Not the most talented but getting the job done.
20 University of Nebraska-Lincoln Logo Nebraska This team is way better than some people are giving them credit. Solid wins against SH, Creighton, and Clemson.
21 Indiana University Bloomington Logo Indiana Marquette win looking better. Keeping their boat afloat.
22 University at Buffalo Logo Buffalo I'm iffy on Buffalo. I think any loss in the MAC will put them out of the top 25 for good.
23 University of Oklahoma Logo Oklahoma Only loss to Wisconsin. OT struggle with NWern. Creighton win looking good.
24 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall I think it's time to rank Seton. Only loss against a very good Nebraska team. Very fun team to watch.
25 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Losing to the hilltopers will put you at the bottom of the hill. OU win best thing going for this team.
