| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 North Carolina
|
I'm trusting the AP top 5 until any of these teams proves better than the others. |
| 2 |
Kentucky
|
Poised for a great early-season matchup with Duke later this week |
| 3 |
Maryland
|
Through one game Melo Trimble didn't look like the force I expected him to be; Maryland is still a well-rounded squad. |
| 4 |
Kansas
|
Poised for a great early-season matchup with Michigan State later this week |
| 5 |
Duke
|
Poised for a great early-season matchup with Kentucky later this week. Through two, they've played great. |
| 6 |
Virginia
|
Viriginia looks strong through one this season. No real reason to put them into the top 5 yet. |
| 7 |
Oklahoma
|
They haven't played yet, but their squad looks strong and could break the top 5 with some key wins. |
| 8 |
Villanova
|
A convincing win this week bodes well for them moving forward. |
| 9 |
Wichita State
|
|
| 10 |
Iowa State
|
After squeaking by Colorado, Iowa State is lucky to still be up here. But a win is a win. |
| 11 |
Gonzaga
|
Can't really fault Gonzaga for the loss they took in one half under slippery court conditions. |
| 12 |
Arizona
|
|
| 13 |
Michigan State

|
| 14 |
California

After a pair of convincing wins, Purdue could be a sleeper to win the Big 10. |
