RankTeamReason
1 University of Kansas Logo 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 University Logo 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 University Logo Gonzaga (-1) Gonzaga likely won't lose another game, but they got beat Saturday. That was no fluke.
4 University of Dayton Logo Dayton +1
5 San Diego State University Logo 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 University Logo Florida State +3
7 Creighton University Logo 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 University Logo Duke (-2) I wouldn't be surprised if Duke continues their bounce back after getting annihilated by NC State.
9 Villanova University Logo Villanova +1
10 Seton Hall University Logo Seton Hall -
11 University of Maryland, College Park Logo Maryland -4

14 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky +1
15 Auburn University Logo Auburn -3
16 Brigham Young University Logo BYU (NR) BYU had the best opportunity available this season, and they made the best of it.
17 University of Iowa Logo 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 University of Michigan Logo Michigan (NR) Michigan is a different beast with Isaiah Livers.
19 University of Oregon Logo Oregon -
20 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia -4
