FYI: This is a provisional ballot. It does not count towards this poll's results.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
Saturday is going be fun! Talented experience around Suggs. Timme is a player of the year candidate. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
Elite offense and defense. Jared Butler is a superstar on both ends. Disappointed we didn't get Baylor Texas this weekend. |
| 3 |
Iowa
|
Defense may hold them back. But offense might be so good it doesn't matter. Closing gap between top two |
| 4 |
West Virginia
|
Quick prep for a strong UNT didn't prove fatal despite a slow start, and dominant game vs Richmond show this team's legit. top 5 resume |
| 5 |
Michigan State
|
Not really any inspiring performances as of late. Struggles against winless Oakland, Western Michigan, and Detriot cause WVU to jump. |
| 6 |
Villanova
|
One game this week, early struggles against Georgetown (what's up with Hoya's in the first?) but buried them late. |
| 7 |
Kansas
|
Huge win against Creighton. Something to be said for Wilson playing his best ball under the brightest lights. Tough open to Big XII comin up |
| 8 |
Houston
|
Maybe the best back court in the country. Don't forget about them while paused. |
| 9 |
Illinois
|
Mizzou criminally underrated. Not really sure what to make of that game with all the fouls. Beat Duke so bad they quit ;) |
| 10 |
Creighton
|
One point loss shouldn't crush them. Still the best Creighton team since Douggie McBuckets. Handled Nebraska |
| 11 |
Texas
|
Being paused doesn't hurt! HAVOC is back. |
| 12 |
Florida State
|
FSU had one of the best weeks in the entire country. Not sure what to glean from the UF game with extenuating circumstances but quality win |
| 13 |
Tennessee
|
Really hard to gauge them with so few games played. Looked great against Cincy considering one practice in weeks to prep. |
| 14 |
Missouri
|
Not an overreaction. Mizzou has been criminally underrated. Wins against Oregon, Wichita State, and Liberty before big one against Illini |
| 15 |
Ohio State
|
Might be too high on OSU but their offense is my favorite to watch. Keeping here even after Cleve. St. Down their star and seemed low energy |
| 16 |
Wisconsin
|
Wisconsin is tough for me. Feel most confident of all B1G teams against Iowa, also wouldnt be surprised if lose to Nebraska this week we |
| 17 |
San Diego State
|
Great resume to start the year and convincing win against ASU. Maybe even underrated here. |
| 18 |
Texas Tech
|
dNot sure where the offense if going to come from. McClung? A-C is better than most think but still a bad performance for Tech |
| 19 |
Rutgers
|
Just keep taking care of business. incredible front court. |
| 20 |
Duke
|
Pretty weird week for Duke. |
| 21 |
Clemson
|
No flashy wins but basically every win has been against quality competition. Similar to Rutgers. Just keep handling their business. |
| 22 |
Virginia
|
Struggles into a quarantine never help these exercises. I really thought they had something for MSU, but alas can't rank on what ifs. |
| 23 |
St. Louis
|
Stress free week and benefit from some highly ranked teams devouring each other. A10 is strong. As an effort purist love watching Goodwin. |
| 24 |
Michigan
|
Huge survival against Penn State. See Clemson and Rutgers. Just keep on keeping on. high ceiling but LOW floor in conference play |
| 25 |
Louisville
|
Narrowly edge out Xavier as their break ends. 26-30: Xavier, UNC, Richmond, Okie St., UCLA |
