RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga - Dominate win over a top 3 Iowa team. Gonzaga is by far the best team in the nation.
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor - A dominate conference win at Kansas State. KSU might be bad, but Baylor did what they should have.
3 University of Kansas Logo Kansas - Great win at top 15 Texas Tech. Will be interesting to see their game against WVU this week.
4 Villanova University Logo Villanova +3 Villanova had 2 impressive wins against Butler and Saint Joe's this week. They go up three.
5 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia +1 They might have only played 1 game, and they looked horrible in it, but I do believe this team has top 5 potential. Can't wait for Tues.
6 University of Iowa Logo Iowa -3 This is still a very good team, but Gozaga is just that good, and I believe other teams on this list would have made it more competitive.
7 University of Houston Logo Houston +3 They hadn't played a game for like 2 weeks coming into this game, and they picked up where they left off.
8 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee +18 I had them unranked since they hadn't played almost at all. But this team is impressive! Sorry for the under ranking,this team is legit!
9 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas +1 This Texas team is legit. They had a good win over a quality Oklahoma State team.
10 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin +3 HOLY COW! Blowing Louisville out by 41???? Definite statement by Wisconsin this weekend.
11 University of Virginia Logo Virginia +4 They didn't play this week due to COVID, but they move up 4 because so many teams lost.
12 University of Missouri Logo Missouri +4 They didn't play this week due to COVID, but they move up 4 because so many teams lost.
13 Rutgers University Logo Rutgers +4 What a game! Great win against Illinois! This team might have a chance to win the B1G this year!
14 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State -9 I think that MSU is still top 15 worthy, but dang, I did not expect them to get curb stomped by Northwestern.
15 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech -3 I don't want to punish TTU too hard. They lost a heartbreaker to Kansas, and I still think this team is top 15 worthy.
16 Xavier University Logo Xavier +6 WOW! What a game against Marquette! Xavier is 8-0, and I think they are good enough to maybe even win the Big East Title.
17 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina +7 Looked good this week with a win verses Kentucky. (I also had a spot to fill)
18 Duke University Logo Duke NEW - Blowout win at Notre Dame and they look more solid than they did in their losses against Illinois and Michigan State.
19 University of Michigan Logo Michigan +6 This team is solid and I think they will make a deep run this year.
20 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois -6 Still top 20 for me, but they have lost 2 in a row, which isn't looking too good right now.
21 University of Richmond Logo Richmond NEW - Solid wins against at Vanderbilt and against Loyola Chicago. They are my favorite to win the A-10 and make a deep run in the tourney.
22 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech NEW - Virginia Tech was able to knock off a top 25 Clemson team and were in control of the entire game. They are back in my top 25.
23 University of Oregon Logo Oregon NEW - Ever since their win loss against Missouri, they have been on top of things. They are top 25 worthy in my opinion.
24 Florida State University Logo Florida State -13 They lost by 12 to UCF, enough said.
25 University of Arkansas Logo Arkansas -7 Arkansas had to come from behind to beat a 3-5 Oral Roberts team. I ranked this team way to high last week.
