Submitted on Monday, December 23, 2019 at 1:38AM EST
FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
(+1) Gonzaga takes over #1 after Kansas' loss to Villanova. |
| 2 |
Ohio State
|
(+1) Ohio State picked up a nice win over Kentucky and moves up as Kansas drops. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
(+1) |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
(-3) A one-point loss @ Villanova shouldn't drop this team to far, but a loss is indeed a loss. |
| 5 |
Louisville
|
(-) |
| 6 |
Auburn
|
(+1) It was close but Auburn picked up their first P6 win last week, and stay undeafeted. |
| 7 |
Baylor
|
(+2) Baylor won their game vs. UT Martin. |
| 8 |
Memphis
|
(+4) Lots of leapfrogging and rises this week (for me). Memphis performed better than Oregon this week and deserved the jump. |
| 9 |
Oregon
|
(+1) It's an ugly score but Oregon won over Texas Southern, and Montana. |
| 10 |
Dayton
|
(-4) A neutral court, OT loss to Colorado caused Dayton this drop. |
| 11 |
Butler
|
(+5) A solid win over Purdue is a great non-con win for Butler. |
| 12 |
Villanova
|
(+6) A win over former #1 Kansas is pretty good. |
| 13 |
San Diego State
|
(+4) Demolishing Utah was a pretty good way to end non-con play for SDSU. This team is 12-0 and has a chance to run the table. |
| 14 |
Michigan
|
(-) |
| 15 |
West Virginia
|
(NR) I didn't have this team ranked last week and there's really no excuse for that. WVU is 10-1 with solid wins over Wichita State and UNI. |
| 16 |
Wichita State
|
(+6) A good win for Wichita State in VCU. This team is a sleeper AAC pick. |
| 17 |
Maryland
|
(-9) A loss to a Seton Hall team without it's two best players is not good. |
| 18 |
Michigan State
|
(+1) |
| 19 |
Penn State
|
(+4) Moving PSU up 4 after beating a 0-12 team feels wrong but their placement feels right. |
| 20 |
Arizona
|
(-5) Not the best loss for Arizona in St. John's. |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
(-) |
| 22 |
Washington
|
(+3) Washington beat up Ball State in a game they were barely projected to win by ESPN. |
| 23 |
Texas Tech
|
(+1) |
| 24 |
Stanford
|
(NR) Not the best games but this is still a 11-1 win a single loss to Butler. Dropped: 11. Kentucky, 13. Virginia, 20. Tennesse. |
| 25 |
Colorado
|
(NR) Great win over Dayton for Colorado. Next 5: Virginia, Saint Mary's, Northern Iowa, DePaul, Indiana. |
