| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Virginia
|
As someone who watched the FSU game+ from uva, i swapped Duke after this week. |
| 2 |
Duke
|
See #1. UVA moves ahead for now from sheer domimance |
| 3 |
Michigan
|
Slightly shaky vs Illinois; dismantled a decent NW team |
| 4 |
Tennessee
|
A close win at Florida is still solid. Above Gonzaga until they lose, above the big 12 schools until they play each other. |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
Fought off an extremely underrated SF squad. |
| 6 |
Texas Tech
|
Dough goes in; tough wins come out. Chris Beard can explain that+ his tattoo in this week's fireside chat. |
| 7 |
Michigan State
|
Couldn't shake off the narrative that Purdue is the best _ loss team out there. |
| 8 |
Kansas
|
Can't figure out if KU is the worst elite team (6th) or just extremely lucky. No matter what it's entertaining. |
| 9 |
Virginia Tech
|
Upcoming game vs. UVA could vault them into the top 5. Buzz Williams is a winner. |
| 10 |
Nevada
|
Had them 17th in my non-existent provisional last week, however 10-16 all lost. I hate putting them here. |
| 11 |
Buffalo
|
Marquette is an extremely bipolar team. Buffalo caught them at their best. Otherwise a top ten resumé imo. |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
Played Duke to the buzzer w/o Zion after half. UVA performance still hurts, as they were 14th in my mind last week. |
| 13 |
Marquette
|
Marquette is bi-polar. Idk if they're 13th overall, but i don't know if anyone can beat them if they're hot. |
| 14 |
NC State
|
A relatively close game vs. UNC+ a win over pitt moves them down a bit, but I'm still liking their resumé |
| 15 |
Auburn
|
Lost to a hot Ole Miss team. Only lose a couple spots because so many teams lost around them. |
| 16 |
Maryland
|
Quietly climbing up after the IU win. Can't see them cracking the top 10 but imo the 4th best team in the Big 10. |
| 17 |
Oklahoma
|
Close loss to Tech; close win vs. TCU. Clearly the 3rd best in the Big 12. |
| 18 |
Kentucky
|
Still don't get how some people have them in the top 10. Really no different than OU's resumé. |
| 19 |
Ole Miss
|
Hottest team in the SEC this week. Might be 14th in the nation next week, not in the SEC. |
| 20 |
North Carolina
|
Got torched by Louisville. Beat State. Another team with a weaker resumé than people realize. |
| 21 |
Louisville
|
Huge win at UNC. |
| 22 |
Iowa
|
Iowa has yet to prove they can win on the road, but with how weak the bottom of the top 25 is that's okay. |
| 23 |
Indiana
|
Big wins over Louisville and Marquette. Lost to Maryland, but still a top 25 resumé |
| 24 |
Villanova
|
Starting to gain momentum. Don't know if Paschall+Booth cn sustain the heavy workload. |
| 25 |
Houston
|
Lost to Temple in a close one. Lots of close games vs unranked teams w/o major win. Next 5: Nebraska, TCU, St. Johns, OSU, Mississipi State |
