| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
Lookin good |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
|
| 3 |
Iowa
|
|
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
This is extremely high, I know. Their defense looked excellent against both EMU and ND. In time they will prove themselves |
| 5 |
Wisconsin
|
They didn't lose, I guess? Chaos will reign this season. |
| 6 |
Creighton
|
They're pretty much up here by default but I gotta say they're looking good so far. |
| 7 |
Illinois
|
Who could have guessed that when you play two of the worst teams in CBB that you'll dominate??? Only down 1 because they still won vs. Ohio |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
Play a tough schedule, expect a few scratches. VT is scary when you're a top 3 opponent. |
| 9 |
Tennessee
|
Where do you put teams when none of them impress you? Haven't played a game yet but they haven't looked bad YET so here they are in my top10 |
| 10 |
Houston
|
Kind of defaulted to 10th, but looked darn good against Texas Tech. |
| 11 |
Virginia
|
I'll give Virginia more slack than some of the other teams because of their style of play. San Fran is a good team but they hit a LOT of 3s |
| 12 |
Duke
|
How do you struggle against COPPIN STATE? They won but it was not pretty. |
| 13 |
Kentucky
|
Richmond is good, but Kentucky should definitely be better. No threes and sloppy plays are how they lost. |
| 14 |
Arizona State
|
Lost to Villanova and made Rhode Island look good. Impressed me more than most of the other teams that won. |
| 15 |
Kansas
|
Sticking them in the same spot because they don't deserve higher nor lower. Lost to the best team in the country, no shame in that. |
| 16 |
Richmond
|
Probably high on them right now but wow they did excellent against Kentucky on the road |
| 17 |
Florida State
|
|
| 18 |
Rutgers
|
Sure they won but come on, they definitely struggled. Personally, I don't think they should be ranked but I can't justify it yet. |
| 19 |
West Virginia
|
Did not look like a top-15 team this week. Completely underwhelmed by their talent and my expectations for them are lowered. |
| 20 |
St. Louis
|
Beat LSU, a team I had ranked. Went back and watched some highlights, a very solid team from the Bilikins this season. |
| 21 |
Ohio State
|
Struggling against a mid-major is normal. Struggling against UMass-Lowell?? Not okay. Can't play like that in the B1G or you'll be hurting. |
| 22 |
Texas
|
Ah yes, the wonderful rivalry of Texas and.... *checks notes* Texas-Rio Grande Valley. |
| 23 |
San Diego State
|
Absolutely BODIED UCLA, they deserve this. |
| 24 |
Florida
|
|
| 25 |
Texas Tech
|
Got (insert unique synonym for "beaten by a lot" here) by a red hot Houston team. Defense is the best offense til your offense doesn't show |
