| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
- A 23 point win over a top 25 Virginia team with lights out shooting. This team is going places. |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
- A win over a mid major. Not that impressive, but them winning by almost 60 is. |
| 3 |
Kansas
|
- Kansas shot lights out against West Virginia and picked up a solid win over one of my top 5 teams. If they shoot like that, they are great |
| 4 |
Villanova
|
- Good win against a solid Marquette group. Still my favorite to win the Big East. |
| 5 |
Houston
|
+2 Good win against a good UCF team, can't wait to see them play SMU next week. |
| 6 |
Wisconsin
|
+4 This team has been playing really good basketball since their loss at Marquette in early December. Can't wait to see them play more! |
| 7 |
Tennessee
|
+1 Another solid win to start the season out 6-0. Can't wait to see them play in conference. |
| 8 |
Texas
|
+1 Nice pickup win against Oklahoma State this week. Their only loss is against a top 5 Villanova team. No shame in that. |
| 9 |
West Virginia
|
-4 Despite losing by 14 at the AFH, they did shoot pretty darn well. Kansas shot lights out in that game. No shame in losing at Kansas. |
| 10 |
Missouri
|
+2 Welcome to the top 10 Missouri! They might have played horribly against Bradley at home, but I do think they are top 10 material. |
| 11 |
Texas Tech
|
+4 They had a nice pickup on the road against a solid Oklahoma group to rebound from their home loss against Kansas. |
| 12 |
Iowa
|
-6 Iowa has now lost 2 of the past 3 games that they have played. I still think this team is good, just not as good as I once thought. |
| 13 |
Michigan
|
+6 They are one of three teams in the Big 10 that are undefeated in conference play. Can't wait to see more ball from them. |
| 14 |
Northwestern
|
+15 Since their loss to Pittsburgh, they have gone 3-0 in conference play and have beaten 2 top 25 teams. They are proving themselves now. |
| 15 |
Michigan State
|
-1 They lost again, but they did lose to a good Wisconsin team, so they don't drop far for me |
| 16 |
Illinois
|
+4 They have won their last 2 conference games and have looked solid in both of them. |
| 17 |
Virginia Tech
|
+5 Since their single loss to Penn State, they have looked solid. Cannot wait to see more from them. |
| 18 |
Oregon
|
+5 I think this team has a lot of potential on their side to win the PAC-12. Also, moved them up due to several losses. |
| 19 |
Creighton
|
NEW - I wasn't that convinced on this Creighton team after losing to Marquette, but they have won 3 straight and are tied for 2nd. |
| 20 |
Florida State
|
+4 They beat Gardner-Webb this week and made up for their |
| 21 |
Arkansas
|
+4 They have kept things rolling and are off to an 8-0 start. |
| 22 |
Xavier
|
-6 They lost to a good Creighton team and I won't punish them that badly for that. Should be an interesting Big East race this year. |
| 23 |
San Diego State
|
NEW - Nice victory over Saint Mary's this week. Back into my top 25. |
| 24 |
St. Louis
|
+7 Looking good after their loss to Minnesota! |
| 25 |
Clemson
|
+10 I think this team has a lot of potential. Their only loss came to a great Virginia Tech team. |
