RankTeamReason
1 Baylor University Logo Baylor +0 - Top six remain unchanged this week
2 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga +0
3 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State +0
4 University of Iowa Logo Iowa +0 - Iowa could debatably be over Michigan State. I'm valuing MSU's defense over Iowa's lackthereof.
5 University of Houston Logo Houston +0
6 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia +0
7 Villanova University Logo Villanova +1 - After VTech's terrible performance against Penn State, they drop completely out and everyone gets bumped up one spot.
8 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas +1
9 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State +2 - SDSU is severely underrated nationally. They play gritty fundamental basketball
10 University of Missouri Logo Missouri +6 -As an Illini I hate that Mizzou always wallops us in Braggin Rights. This is not me trying to make our loss look better, Mizzou is legit
11 Clemson University Logo Clemson +7 - I also think Clemson is underrated nationally
12 University of Kansas Logo Kansas +2 - The Creighton win bumps them up a bit, but I am still not sold on this Kansas team.
13 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin +2
14 Florida State University Logo Florida State NR - Florida State and Tennesse are both great teams that I haven't had ranked because they simply had not played yet. They both look solid
15 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee NR
16 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois -6 - I'm trying not to be a homer, but even with two losses, I feel U of I is a top team. I am confident we'lll show up in conference
17 Creighton University Logo Creighton -5 - Much like I'm not sold on Kansas, I'm also not sold on Creighton. Great potential that just hasn't shown up on the court yet
18 University of California, Los Angeles Logo UCLA NR - Great basketball at UCLA right now. Their only loss against SDSU came without their best player playing
19 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina -6
20 University of Michigan Logo Michigan +2 - Undefeated Michigan keeps getting the job done. They have great potential going into B1G conference play
21 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech -4

23 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State -4 - They've been winning but not very convincingly
24 Saint Louis University Logo St. Louis +1 - Dropped from last week: VTech, Duke, UVA, Arizona St. Sorry ACC :(
