Good wins and no upsets (yet). |

The Seton Hall win has redeemed MSU in my eyes (for now). |
4 |

Two solid wins after the early acceptable loss moves them up. |

A P5 win plus good wins against weaker opponents moves them up. |

Good wins and they are 3-0. I'll move Maryland up. |
7 |

I am willing to count the Evansville loss as an anomaly, I'll move them down to #7 at the moment. |
8 |
![]() |
Great win at Texas A&M moves them up but Kentucky's fall must end somewhere. |
9 |
![]() |
Virginia moves into the Top 10 for me as they ready for a match-up against a surging Vermont team. |

![]() |
Great victory over Memphis! They move into the Top 10. |
11 |
![]() |
Ohio State blew Villanova out at home and sent them back to Bryn Mawr packing. They sit just outside the top 10. |
12 |
![]() |
Texas Tech will stay outside of the top 10. They move up but have played no one of importance yet. |
13 |
![]() |
Arizona moves up quickly with many other teams dropping or playing a weaker schedule. |
14 |
![]() |
A loss to OSU won't push them back too much, but they will fall in my book. |
15 |
![]() |
Utah State hasn't played anyone. Until they play St. Mary's or LSU we really don't know anything about them yet. |
16 |
![]() |
A close loss to MSU will not drop them too far from where they sat in the rankings. |
17 |
![]() |
Losing to Oregon is not bad, but they can't afford to lose too many games before conference play begins. |
18 |
![]() |
Good wins but losses ahead of them doesn't allow them to move up too much. |
19 |
![]() |
Beating LSU gets you higher! |
20 |
![]() |
Several losses ahead of them moves them up. Their Purdue win is still impressive in my book. |
21 |
![]() |
Losing to a team that got blown out by St. Joseph's. That can sink you in the rankings. |
22 |
![]() |
The Washington loss now isn't as special. They move up slightly. |
23 |
![]() |
They move into the rankings and will represent the MVC for the first time in a few years in the rankings after the Kentucky win. |
24 |
![]() |
Good wins so far, but only 2 games. This doesn't tell me too much. |
