| 5 |
Iowa
|
(+3) Iowa rebounded from last week by beating Northwestern and Rutgers, two good teams. |

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. |

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. |

(+1) |
| 13 |

|
(+2) |
| 14 |

|
(+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. |

|
(-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. |
