| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Baylor
|
Impressive win over illinois puts them ahead of gonzaga for now |
| 2 |
Gonzaga
|
West Virginia win was very impressive |
| 3 |
Michigan State
|
Don't feel great about the closish games against mid majors, but a blowout game against notre dame and a good duke win put them here for now |
| 4 |
Creighton
|
Nobody has really done anything great and they have dominated lesser competition |
| 5 |
Houston
|
Huge win over texas tech |
| 6 |
West Virginia
|
Easily could (maybe should) have beaten gonzaga |
| 7 |
Villanova
|
Good win over texas, decent loss to va tech shouldnt drop them too far |
| 8 |
Wisconsin
|
I can forgive a close road loss against a decent opponent this early in the season |
| 9 |
Texas Tech
|
Lost to houston, but shot poorly and could have won. Blowouts in other games |
| 10 |
Tennessee
|
Still look good on paper |
| 11 |
Duke
|
It's duke. Coppin state game is worrisome, but they looked better this week |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
Blew out who they should so far |
| 13 |
Texas
|
Good win over North Carolina/indiana, not a bad loss to villanova |
| 14 |
Illinois
|
Hung with baylor for most of the game but lost by a decent margin. Also iffu Ohio game |
| 15 |
Louisville
|
Good on paper, nice western kentucky win (seton hall not bad either) |
| 16 |
North Carolina
|
Beat stanford and competed with texas |
| 17 |
Iowa
|
Great offense, but the defense is terrible. I'll move them up if they do well against north carolina,but this doesnt look like a top 15 team |
| 18 |
Ohio State
|
Been good enough against bad opponents |
| 19 |
Virginia Tech
|
Beat nova, but had a close game against a bad team afterwards |
| 20 |
Richmond
|
Kentucky win doesnt look quite as good anymore |
| 21 |
Rutgers
|
Beaten bad teams by a lot so far |
| 22 |
Kansas
|
Shaky wins against ND State and Kentucky (who is bad right now) and a loss to the zags. Probably ends up higher, but not a great resume now |
| 23 |
St. Louis
|
Good LSU win and some blowouts |
| 24 |
Missouri
|
Probably doesnt end up this high, but a good win over oregon / wichita is nice so far |
| 25 |
Michigan
|
Big UCF win puts them back in despite oakland scare. Others considered: virginia, indiana, clemson, oklahoma |
