RankTeamReason
1 Gonzaga University Logo Gonzaga Controlled the IOWA game start to finish. They remain the team to beat
2 Baylor University Logo Baylor They don't face anybody good for awhile so they'll stay up here for a good amount of time
3 University of Iowa Logo Iowa I'll keep them here based that I believe they're still a top 5 team and can beat HOU/NOVA if they played right now
4 University of Houston Logo Houston Killed ALCN but I just don't think they would beat IOWA as of now
5 Villanova University Logo Villanova Took care of business
6 West Virginia University Logo West Virginia Game vs KU this week will be huge for standing
7 University of Kansas Logo Kansas Took down a pretty good TT team AT TT. They're putting together a pretty good resume
8 University of Texas at Austin Logo Texas Barely beat OKST but I won't move them up. They haven't convinced me enough
9 University of Tennessee Logo Tennessee Absoultely destroyed TNTC as they should
10 University of Missouri Logo Missouri Never thought they'd be this close to the top tbh
11 Rutgers University Logo Rutgers Defeated a really good ILL team. Harper is a beast
12 University of Wisconsin-Madison Logo Wisconsin Beat a quality Loyola team and the UL win wasn't 100% fair but a win is a win
13 Creighton University Logo Creighton Narrow win vs UConn, haven't been dominating as of late
14 University of Michigan Logo Michigan +5
15 Michigan State University Logo Michigan State Lost to NW
16 San Diego State University Logo San Diego State Tough loss vs BYU but they still have quality wins under their belt
17 Ohio State University Logo Ohio State Beat a solid UCLA squad
18 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Logo North Carolina Beat UK but that doesn't really mean much as of now
19 Florida State University Logo Florida State Got exposed by UCF at HOME. Not something you see everyday
20 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Logo Illinois You can't give a team that many FT attempts and still expect to win. Disappointing but they are probably the best 5-3 team in the country
21 Xavier University Logo Xavier Beat a quality MARQ team and remain undefeated. CREI game should be entertaining
22 Texas Tech University Logo Texas Tech Lost to KU, not sure what they were doing in the last minute but at this point they have 0 quality wins
23 Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Logo Virginia Tech Upset Clemson so I put them back in the top 25
24 University of Oregon Logo Oregon They've looked a lot better since having their team all together. The UCLA game will test them.
25 Duke University Logo Duke Beat ND. Thats all.
