| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
Bless Jalen Suggs's ankle. Bummed about the Baylor game, but impressed with the gritty win on Wednesday. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Again, bummed about the cancelation, but a very impressive win over Illinois |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
Luka Garza |
| 4 |
Michigan State
|
Beat Duke, struggle with Detroit Mercy. This makes sense. |
| 5 |
Creighton
|
We finally get them a worthy opponent this week. |
| 6 |
Houston
|
South Carolina is a borderline tournament team and Houston beat them by ten without their head coach. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
With canceling Baylor, Kansas might have the toughest non-con in the country, with Creighton this week. |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
A very impressive win against a very good Texas team |
| 9 |
Texas
|
I'm moving them up despite the loss to Nova. It's the Maui (Asheville) bump. |
| 10 |
Wisconsin
|
I think this game showed less the weakness of Wisconsin but the strength of Marquette. This team will bounce back. |
| 11 |
Illinois
|
Baylor was a tough matchup, but I like their odds against Duke this week |
| 12 |
West Virginia
|
Impressive as hell against Gonzaga. I think this team is legit, so I'm not moving them down too much for the loss. |
| 13 |
North Carolina
|
Had a pretty good Maui notwithstanding that start against UNLV, so I'm fine moving them up just slightly despite the loss |
| 14 |
Virginia
|
We will see what this team is made of this week |
| 15 |
Duke
|
It turns out shooting 32% from the field causes you to lose games. |
| 16 |
Tennessee
|
I think this team will be very good, but I don't feel comfortable moving them much higher than this spot until I see them play. |
| 17 |
Texas Tech
|
A nothing week last week, a nothing week this week, then the real fun begins |
| 18 |
Rutgers
|
Shrug |
| 19 |
Florida State
|
Scottie Barnes |
| 20 |
Ohio State
|
I want this team to play a real game so I can figure out if they're good or not |
| 21 |
Richmond
|
After the Kentucky win, you deserve a week off |
| 22 |
Arizona State
|
Probably closer than it should be against Cal, but ASU looks like the best Pac-12 team right now |
| 23 |
Virginia Tech
|
This is carry over from their good win last week and others getting dropped from the poll this week |
| 24 |
Marquette
|
This team is better than I thought they were. Impressive win. |
| 25 |
Michigan
|
I almost took them out, but don't want to bump them unless they lose. Next 5: OK St, St. Louis, Louisville, Indiana, Clemson |
