4 | Texas | (+5) Texas pulled off a huge 35-point win at Kansas, where they outplayed them in every facet of the game. |
5 | Iowa | (+3) Iowa rebounded from last week by beating Northwestern and Rutgers, two good teams. |
6 | Kansas | (-3) Losing by that much is bad, and doing it at home is bad, but KU is still a good team, and they should be fine. |
7 | Tennessee | (-) Tennessee lost to Alabama, but it was after a huge win over Missouri. They should stay put. |
8 | Creighton | (+3) Creighton won, leading to their rise, but the margin they're winning by has been unimpressive. |
9 | Michigan | (+11) Michigan picked up a win over Maryland and a huge one over Minnesota, continuing their undefeated season, and earning a top 10 spot. |
10 | Wisconsin | (-4) Wisconsin won't fall too far after recovering from a Maryland loss with a win over Minnesota. |
11 | Houston | (-6) Houston lost to Tulsa in a close one, where they shot very poorly, but did recover with a win over SMU. |
12 | Illinois | (+1) |
13 | Rutgers | (+2) |
14 | Minnesota | (+3) With wins over Michigan St and Ohio St, Minnesota had a good week, despite the loss to Wisconsin, which isn't a bad one. |
15 | West Virginia | (-5) WVU lost to Oklahoma, despite making nearly 60% their shots from the 3. |
16 | Missouri | (-4) Mizzou got beat bad by Tennessee at home, in a game that was never close. They recovered well, but the loss was rough. |
17 | Oregon | (NR) Oregon's been playing good after their loss to Mizzou, and should be top 20. |
18 | St. Louis | (+3) SLU was idle, but teams dropping led to them rising. |
19 | Oklahoma State | (NR) OkSt is doing well after a win @ Texas Tech. The games they've lost happened by a combined 4 points, and they've been playing well. |
20 | Texas Tech | (-4) TTU lost at home to Oklahoma State, but won't drop too far after losses by other teams. |
21 | Clemson | (+3) After a good win over FSU, Clemson somehow avoided being upset after a 1-point win over Miami. |
22 | Florida State | (-4) FSU lost on the road to Clemson, and shouldn't drop too far. |
23 | Virginia Tech | - |
24 | Virginia | (NR) [DROPPED: 15. Michigan State, 19. Northwestern, 22. Xavier, 25. Ohio State] |
25 | Arizona | (NR) Arizona's looking pretty good after wins over Colorado, Washington, and Wash. St, and are 9-1 right now. |
