FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
Jalen Suggs is a stud and this team is good. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Dropped 112 on Lousiana and blew out the Huskies. This team is legit. |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
Luka Garza could probably win games all by himself. |
| 4 |
Wisconsin
|
Their two games were more lopsided than the scores, and the scores were lopsided. |
| 5 |
Illinois
|
The Ohio game was a blip. The 62 and 59 point wins weren't. |
| 6 |
Michigan State
|
The Notre Dame game was full-on domination. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
Can't blame them too much for losing to Gonzaga. These guys are still really good. |
| 8 |
Creighton
|
Made quick work of NDSU in their only game. |
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
Once they play, they'll be good. |
| 10 |
Kentucky
|
Richmond's a good team, but Kentucky shouldn't have lost by 12. |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
Villanova had a chance to take #2 away from Baylor... but... well... |
| 12 |
Duke
|
The Coppin State game should not have been NEARLY that close. |
| 13 |
Houston
|
Yeah, this team is gooooooood. |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
Worst loss of opening week, and I'm sad I had to bump them down here, but oh well. |
| 15 |
Texas
|
Is a pretty good team. Not much to say. |
| 16 |
Florida State
|
Once they play, this is where they'll be. |
| 17 |
Texas Tech
|
Not a great look being behind wire-to-wire to Houston, and those two essentially swap places. |
| 18 |
West Virginia
|
Shouldn't have played so close to WKU and SDSU. |
| 19 |
North Carolina
|
I'm still not sold with these guys yet. The Charleston was way closer than the final score. |
| 20 |
Richmond
|
Richmond debuts at #20 with a huge win over Kentucky. This team is the real deal out of the A10 |
| 21 |
Oregon
|
Don't know quite what to make of these guys yet, so I'll slot them right here. |
| 22 |
Rutgers
|
Played easy opponents, beat them easily. |
| 23 |
San Diego State
|
SDSU debuts to take the spot of UCLA after beating them. |
| 24 |
Arizona State
|
A loss to Villanova isn't bad, but almost losing to Rhode Island knocks them down a few. |
| 25 |
Ohio State
|
Shouldn't have played that close to UMass Lowell. Others under consideration: Louisville, LSU, Virginia Tech, Florida, Alabama |
