Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Kansas | (+3) Kansas beat last week's number 1, Baylor, on the road and will most likely be the unanimous number 1 in the AP poll. |
2 | Baylor | (-1) A loss to Kansas has no shame in it, even if you were the current number 1 and hosting. Plus, you have the road win on them too. |
3 | Gonzaga | (-1) Gonzaga likely won't lose another game, but they got beat Saturday. That was no fluke. |
4 | Dayton | +1 |
5 | San Diego State | (-2) SDSU had by far the worst loss of the 3 top 5 teams that lost, but should still stay top 5. 26-1 is obviously no joke. |
6 | Florida State | +3 |
7 | Creighton | (+6) Creighton is the best team in the Big East right now. They're playing the best, winning, and I don't see it stopping. |
8 | Duke | (-2) I wouldn't be surprised if Duke continues their bounce back after getting annihilated by NC State. |
9 | Villanova | +1 |
10 | Seton Hall | - |
11 | Maryland | -4 |
12 | Louisville | +2 |
13 | Penn State | (-5) Top 10 Penn State was fun while it lasted. |
14 | Kentucky | +1 |
15 | Auburn | -3 |
16 | BYU | (NR) BYU had the best opportunity available this season, and they made the best of it. |
17 | Iowa | (+6) A jump this big may be a bit much, but pretty much all the teams around Iowa lost, and Iowa didn't lose. |
18 | Michigan | (NR) Michigan is a different beast with Isaiah Livers. |
19 | Oregon | - |
20 | West Virginia | -4 |
21 | Marquette | -4 |
22 | Colorado | -4 |
23 | Arizona | -2 |
24 | Butler | (-4) DROPPED: 24. Rhode Island, 25. ETSU. |
25 | Houston | (-3) NEXT 5: Ohio State, Illinois, Michigan State, Texas Tech, Rhode Island. |
