Baylor
|
(-) Uneventful week for Baylor. |
| 3 |
Villanova
|
(-) Villanova beat Marquette in their only game this week and stay put. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
(+3) Kansas deserves to leapfrog into 4th here after their 14-point win over West Virginia. Another great KU team. |

Houston

| 7 |
Tennessee
|
(+1) Tennessee has been steady. |
| 8 |
Iowa
|
(-4) Iowa lost on the road to Minnesota, a good team, and should drop outside the top 5. They still look top 10 worthy as of now. |
| 9 |
Texas
|
(+2) Texas moves up due to losses despite being idle. |
| 10 |
West Virginia
|
(-5) West Virginia got beat pretty hard by Kansas, and just looked outmatched. |
| 11 |
Creighton
|
(+2) Creighton beat a good Xavier team, and move up. |
| 12 |
Missouri
|

| 13 |
Illinois
|
(+2) Illinois won both of their games and will move up/ |
| 14 |
Michigan State
|
(-4) After their loss to Wisconsin, Michigan State is winless in B1G play. This is still a good team. |
| 15 |
Rutgers
|
(-3) Maybe a drop this small isn't enough, but this shouldn't be a huge concern for Rutgers, losing to a ranked team on the road. |
| 16 |
Texas Tech
|
(-) TTU stays put after a close game vs. Oklahoma. |
| 17 |
Minnesota
|
(NR) After an OT win over Iowa (along with their win over Saint Louis), it's obvious Minnesota should be ranked. |
| 18 |
Florida State
|
(-) FSU had an uneventful week, beating Gardner-Webb in their only game. |
| 19 |
Northwestern
|
(NR) Great week for Northwestern after beating Ohio State and Indiana, only adding on to their win over Michigan State. |
| 20 |
Michigan
|
(+2) Michigan has looked steady and they are undefeated, so they'll leapfrog Saint Louis here. |
| 21 |
St. Louis
|
(-) Saint Louis should stay put. |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
(-5) Xavier should definitely remain a top 25 team after a close loss to Creighton. |
| 23 |
Virginia Tech
|
(+1) VT moves up due to some drops. |
| 24 |
Clemson
|
(+1) Clemson also moves up due to some drops. |
