| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kentucky
|
No question about this one. |
| 2 |
Virginia
|
1 and 2 are set. Duke may be creeping up here, though. |
| 3 |
Duke
|
The only thing keeping Duke from being number 2 is that loss to Miami. |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
More high RPI wins than Wisconsin, but with the eye test, they're about even. |
| 5 |
Wisconsin
|
4 and 5 are interchangeable |
| 6 |
Arizona
|
6-8 could be in any order, really. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
The most RPI top 25 wins. A couple early season blowouts holding KU back. |
| 8 |
Gonzaga
|
Only 1 loss, not a lot of really stellar wins, though. Still enough to be a 2 seed, at least. |
| 9 |
Iowa State
|
1 game behind KU in the toughest league in America. Still could win it outright. Top 10. |
| 10 |
Notre Dame
|
After their spanking by Duke, Notre Dame is back to playing solid ball. |
| 11 |
Northern Iowa
|
Same problem as Gonzaga, except the losses are to worse teams. |
| 12 |
Oklahoma
|
12 through 17 is really the definition of middle-of-the pack. All good teams. |
| 13 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 14 |
North Carolina
|
|
| 15 |
Utah
|
I'm souring on Utah. |
| 16 |
Baylor
|
Stronger than what you'd expect. Baylor has really impressed me this year. |
| 17 |
West Virginia
|
Winning on the road in the Big 12 is tough. |
| 18 |
Arkansas
|
|
| 19 |
SMU
|
|
| 20 |
Louisville
|
I'm sensing the beginning of a freefall in Louisville. |
| 21 |
Maryland
|
21-25 have done enough to not drop out of the top 25. Mostly because people in this range keep losing. All good teams. |
| 22 |
VCU
|
Really these guys could all be in any order. |
| 23 |
Georgetown
|
|
| 24 |
San Diego State
|
|
| 25 |
Oklahoma State
|
