Rank | Team | Reason |

1 | Gonzaga | Tier 1- I haven't had a repeat #1 this season, and it's true again this week. We'll see if Gonzaga can be the first. +1 |
2 | Kansas | Stay ahead of Duke because of their win against a not terrible Stanford team +2 |
3 | Duke | +2 |

7 | Baylor | = |
8 | Auburn | = |

15 | Butler | = |
16 | Arkansas | I've been a fan of both Arkansas and Indiana (moreso Arkansas), so a win here on the road is huge +7 |
17 | Dayton | dropping dayton because I think that they're kansas LOSS has been carrying them. they've looked impressive at times, but need a big win. -5 |
18 | Kentucky | If the Maxey kid can perform like he did this week, Kentucky could be back as 2nd weekend hopefuls.+8 |
19 | Wichita State | Tier 5 -2 |

21 | Michigan State | -2 |
22 | Florida State | -2 |
