| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Kansas
|
== |
| 2 |
Dayton
|
+1 |
| 3 |
Gonzaga
|
+4 There was no continued bleeding after BYU and a few schools I had above them lost. |
| 4 |
Kentucky
|
+1 |
| 5 |
San Diego State
|
+3 Same as Gonzaga |
| 6 |
Baylor
|
-4 Same fall as for Gonzaga losing to BYU |
| 7 |
Seton Hall
|
+4 |
| 8 |
Michigan State
|
Two great wins in a week propel them into the rankings. |
| 9 |
Creighton
|
-3 Probably should have fallen further but I had them underranked last week |
| 10 |
Oregon
|
+9 a lot of teams above them lost when they shouldn't have, plus probably have undervalued them in the past |
| 11 |
Maryland
|
-7 Close win over Minnesota and a distant loss to Michigan St. did not help my thoughts on Maryland |
| 12 |
Penn State
|
-3 |
| 13 |
Auburn
|
+1 |
| 14 |
Illinois
|
+2 |
| 15 |
Louisville
|
-5 they're lucky they played FSU before Clemson did |
| 16 |
Providence
|
They were a borderline team for me last week but two solid wins for them have confirmed they're legit |
| 17 |
Villanova
|
-4 |
| 18 |
Iowa
|
-6 |
| 19 |
Ohio State
|
+3 |
| 20 |
Butler
|
+1 |
| 21 |
Florida State
|
Big ups from a win against Louisville confirming they are good, big downs for losing to Clemson |
| 22 |
Duke
|
-7 I don't know what the opposite of momentum is but Duke has it. If there wasn't a super weak bubble Duke would be unranked |
| 23 |
Virginia
|
Either the ACC is awful or UVA has turned things around. Either way they probably make the tournament |
| 24 |
Northern Iowa
|
+1 LSU + URI fall out of rankings due to low ranking + bad loss |
| 25 |
Houston
|
-5 WVU would have fallen out of my rankings with two close wins. They've had no notable achievements since the 5th |
