Dominant as usual against Clemson. |

Tennessee is looking very scary in the SEC. |

Huge win over a top 10 ranked Florida State. |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga is still hanging around with their only losses to ranked opponents. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
Michigan State looks like the 2nd best team in the Big 10 with a statement over Ohio State. |
| 7 |
Virginia Tech
|
The Hokies are looking like strong contenders in the ACC. |
| 8 |
North Carolina
|
UNC moves up with losses by Nevada, Kansas, and Foorida State. |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Tech moves up, same as North Carolina. My favorite for the Big 12 title. |
| 10 |
Nevada
|
Huge blowout loss to New Mexico, hopefully it's just a fluke. |
| 11 |
Kansas
|
With a loss to Iowa State, it's looking like Kansas might not win the Big 12 this year. |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
Close loss to a very good Virginia team, Florida State is still a very solid team. |
| 13 |
Marquette
|
The loss to St. John's hurts but I still think Marquette can win the Big East |
| 14 |
NC State
|
NC State is my 6th ACC team in the top 15, this conference will be a bloodbath. |
| 15 |
Oklahoma
|
Oklahoma is way better than many people are giving them credit for. |
| 16 |
Ohio State
|
Hard loss to Michigan State, the Buckeyes will rebound this week against Rutgers. |
| 17 |
Auburn
|
Now's the time for Auburn to prove that they are as elite as everyone claims. |
| 18 |
Mississippi State
|
Mississippi State has been up and down. They need to put on a strong showing in the upcoming games. |
| 19 |
Buffalo
|
Buffalo will run the table in the MAC. |
| 20 |
Houston
|
Houston is still undefeated, tough challenge coming up with a Temple team coming off a win at Wichita State. |
| 21 |
Kentucky
|
Huge loss to a weaker Alabama team to open up SEC play, not too worrying as it was on the road. |
| 22 |
Iowa State
|
Iowa State seems to have come out of nowhere, but are 12-2 with a huge win over Kansas and could possibly challenge for the Big 12 title. |
| 23 |
Minnesota
|
Huge win over Wisconsin on the road, with a weaker schedule coming up the Gophers need to take advantage to gain some momentum. |
| 24 |
St. John's
|
Let's face it, St. John's should be undefeated but rebounded nicely with a win over Marquette. |
| 25 |
TCU
|
TCU has probably been one of the quietest one loss teams so far, only time can tell how good they will be. |
