| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Gonzaga
|
More of a 1a to Baylor's 1b, but 2 really impressive road wins this week assures them the top spot |
| 2 |
Baylor
|
1b as stated above, and pause will likely keep them there for a while. |
| 3 |
Michigan
|
Really gutsy performance on the road vs. Wisconsin after the 21 day layoff |
| 4 |
Ohio State
|
Most impressive collection of wins in the country |
| 5 |
Illinois
|
Really good team. Just below their B1G mates for now. |
| 6 |
Alabama
|
Class of the SEC. Unstoppable when hot |
| 7 |
Virginia
|
Jay Huff should win ACC POY easily |
| 8 |
Houston
|
Love their team. Great, experienced backcourt no one will want to play in March |
| 9 |
USC
|
Quick rising, and underrated for now. |
| 10 |
Iowa
|
Still a great team, as losses have been close and without a key player. |
| 11 |
Villanova
|
Defense scares me, as shown in blowout loss to Creighton. But can score with the best. |
| 12 |
West Virginia
|
Miles McBrde is a killer. He can take them a long way. |
| 13 |
Creighton
|
Very much a classic Creighton team. |
| 14 |
Oklahoma
|
Lots of close wins but the results are undeniable. |
| 15 |
Arkansas
|
A bit high here, but from here to 23 or so there is so little separation and so tough to rank. |
| 16 |
Purdue
|
Probably worse than the next 2 teams but better strength of record puts them over the top for now |
| 17 |
Texas
|
Should probably be lower but am getting them BOTD for injuries/sitouts |
| 18 |
Tennessee
|
Have potential to move higher but resume wise aren't super strong right now |
| 19 |
Kansas
|
Better strength of record than most would realize |
| 20 |
Texas Tech
|
Worse strength of record than most would realize |
| 21 |
Missouri
|
Not impressed when I watch them, but resume is undeniable. |
| 22 |
Loyola Chicago
|
Would have been closer around 12th without the OT loss to Drake, which was not a bad loss |
| 23 |
Florida State
|
I like them a lot, but resume is thin |
| 24 |
Wisconsin
|
I think they're a good team going through a shooting slump. Resume is better than most will give it credit for as well |
| 25 |
Rutgers
|
Last time I got on the bandwagon they lost 5 in a row |
