Swept Utah and beat Gonzaga. This gets them over Wisconsin |
6 |
![]() |
No real quality road wins. Thus they fall behind Arizona. |
7 |
![]() |
Gonzaga showed their true colors losing to BYU at home. They still only have two losses, so they stay fairly high. |
8 |
![]() |
Quality win against UNI and only three losses. But it really drops off after #6. |
9 |
![]() |
Loss to Wichita State doesn't hurt them that much. Again, it's really starting to drop off now. |
10 |
![]() |
Good win against Wisconsin. |
11 |
![]() |
Five losses overall in a tough conference. |
12 |
![]() |
Good team, but with six losses they can't be any higher. |
13 |

I expect them to drop with Chris Jones out, but until they lose, they won't. |
14 |

Good win over Iowa State. |
15 |
![]() |
Loss to Arizona won't drop them too much. |
16 |
![]() |
Quality A-10 team who could surprise again come March. The A-10 is underrated. |
17 |
![]() |
Loss to Kentucky won't hurt them too much. |
18 |
![]() |
They lost to UConn, but they're still a very good team. |
19 |
![]() |
Only four losses so far and playing very well, but with their SOS, they can't be any higher. |

24-4. Two of those losses were to Top 15 teams and one was to Xavier. Won @Memphis, took UNI to OT before losing by two. |
21 |
![]() |
Again, the A-10 is underrated and Davidson only has six losses. They beat Dayton and narrowly lost @VCU. |
22 |
![]() |
Loss to Baylor drops them. |
23 |
![]() |
Bad week almost drops the Cyclones out of the Top 25. |
24 |
![]() |
A&M is the third-best team in the SEC and took Kentucky to the limit. They could win in a rematch. |
25 |
![]() |
Bulldogs climb into the top 25, barely, thanks to a lot of low-ranked teams losing. |
