| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Duke
|
Both undefeateds have fallen, one at the hands of Duke, however it was real close against Virginia. I can't wait for their next meeting. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
Real close loss on the road to Duke, I'm not to worried about this squad. |
| 3 |
Tennessee
|
Close shave against Alabama but Tennessee got it done. |
| 4 |
Michigan
|
Road games are always tough in the Big 10, especially in Wisconsin. Next game is against a hungry Minnesota squad, might be interesting. |
| 5 |
Gonzaga
|
Gonzaga just keeps on chugging along, kinda flying under the radar with all the ACC attention recently. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
Huge test for the Spartans coming up this week against a red-hot Maryland squad. |
| 7 |
Nevada
|
After that one hiccup Nevada is back to dominating their opponents with ease. |
| 8 |
Virginia Tech
|
I won't punish Virginia Tech for losing on the road to a better Virginia team, expect a shock upset in the ACC tournament. |
| 9 |
Kentucky
|
Huge road win against Auburn, Kentucky keeps on climbing. |
| 10 |
North Carolina
|
Nice bounce back after Louisville, big test coming against Virginia Tech. |
| 11 |
Texas Tech
|
Back-to-back losses hurts, the Big 12 is closer than I expected this year. |
| 12 |
Marquette
|
Marquette keeps on winning in the Big East. |
| 13 |
Kansas
|
It usually wouldn't be that bad if you lose to West Virginia, but they aren't the usual powerhouse this year. Kansas needs to bounce back. |
| 14 |
Maryland
|
Maryland just keeps on winning, they are my dark horse to win the Big 10. |
| 15 |
Buffalo
|
Buffalo keeps blowing out everyone they play, one of the best resumes come March. |
| 16 |
NC State
|
Any given day anyone can lose on the road, that's what happened when to Wolfpack went into Wake Forest. Nice bounce back at Notre Dame. |
| 17 |
Florida State
|
Nightmare start to ACC play, Florida State needs to turn it around, fast. |
| 18 |
Auburn
|
Tough loss to Kentucky, Aubrun is still an elite team in the SEC. |
| 19 |
Houston
|
Two quality road wins this week, Houston keeps plugging away. |
| 20 |
Ole Miss
|
Lets hope the LSU loss is just a small hiccup to a surprise season. |
| 21 |
Villanova
|
Everyone started to count them out, and Villanova has been winning ever since. |
| 22 |
Iowa
|
Big game coming up against Michigan State, let's see which Iowa team will show up. |
| 23 |
Mississippi State
|
Time for Mississippi State to prove themselves against Kentucky this week. |
| 24 |
Murray State
|
Murray State has only lost to 2 good SEC teams, and is blowing out everyone else. Time to jump on the Ja Morant hype train. |
| 25 |
Oklahoma
|
Two losses is not helping, need a quick turn around to have a shot in the postseason. |
