RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Lookin good
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor
3 University of Iowa Logo Iowa
4 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State This is extremely high, I know. Their defense looked excellent against both EMU and ND. In time they will prove themselves
5 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin They didn't lose, I guess? Chaos will reign this season.
6 Creighton University Logo Creighton They're pretty much up here by default but I gotta say they're looking good so far.
7 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo 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 University Logo Villanova Play a tough schedule, expect a few scratches. VT is scary when you're a top 3 opponent.
9 University of Tennessee Logo 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 University of Houston Logo Houston Kind of defaulted to 10th, but looked darn good against Texas Tech.
11 University of Virginia Logo 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 University Logo Duke How do you struggle against COPPIN STATE? They won but it was not pretty.
13 University of Kentucky Logo Kentucky Richmond is good, but Kentucky should definitely be better. No threes and sloppy plays are how they lost.
14 Arizona State University Logo Arizona State Lost to Villanova and made Rhode Island look good. Impressed me more than most of the other teams that won.
15 University of Kansas Logo 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 University of Richmond Logo Richmond Probably high on them right now but wow they did excellent against Kentucky on the road
17 Florida State University Logo Florida State
18 Rutgers University Logo 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 University Logo 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 Saint Louis University Logo 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 University Logo 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 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Ah yes, the wonderful rivalry of Texas and.... *checks notes* Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
23 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State Absolutely BODIED UCLA, they deserve this.
24 University of Florida Logo Florida
25 Texas Tech University Logo 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
